In 2007, Sony introduced the revolutionary XDCAM EX™ handheld camcorder, the PMW-EX1 - the newest member of the Sony XDCAM® family of tapeless production systems - in response to growing demand for an affordable high definition (HD) production solution. This technological breakthrough camcorder - incorporating incredible feature sets such as three 1/2-inch type Full HD CMOS sensors, amazing 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 HD recording capabilities plus flash memory recording in an extremely compact body - was achieved thanks to the extraordinary technical expertise and knowledge amassed when designing Sony's groundbreaking CineAlta™ family of products.

Offering striking HD picture quality, extra mobility and great operational efficiency, the PMW-EX1 camcorder has already been rapidly adopted around the world in a broad range of HD production applications and electronic cinematography. Now Sony evolves the XDCAM EX lineup further still, with the introduction of the PMW-EX3 camcorder. The PMW-EX3 compact camcorder incorporates an eagerly awaited 1/2-inch type interchangeable lens system, providing enhanced creativity and flexibility with a broad choice of lenses.

The XDCAM EX products use an SxS PRO™ memory card,which is based on the rapidly growing ExpressCard industry standard, as recording media. Combining the moderate bit rate of MPEG-2 Long GOP compression adopted by XDCAM EX products with the SxS PRO memory card, the XDCAM EX series offers cost-effective long-form recording, coupled to nonlinear capabilities such as instantaneous random access and high-speed file-based operation.

Interchangeable Lens System (PMW-EX3 Only)
The PMW-EX3 camcorder incorporates a newly developed 1/2-inch type “EX mount” interchangeable lens system that allows the lens to be as compact and lightweight as possible while maintaining its high optical performance. If a wide-angle lens is needed, the Fujinon 1/2-inch type XS8X4AS-XB8,which also has an EX mount, is available.
This mount system allows a variety of 1/2-inch type HD lenses available from major manufacturers to be used with the PMW-EX3 camcorder via the supplied lens adaptor, expanding the spectrum of creative expressions.*

Both camcorders incorporate three 1/2-inch type “Exmor”™ Full HD CMOS Sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920 x 1080, delivering stunning-quality HD images in 1080P, 720P and 1080i
HD resolutions. The frame rate of these camcorders is selectable from interlace and progressive, such as 59.94i, 50i, 59.94P, 50P, 29.97P, 25P and native 23.98P recording.*

A rich variety of features for creative shooting are incorporated into these camcorders such as “Slow & Quick Motion”, which is also commonly known as “over-cranking” and ”under-cranking”, selectable gamma curves, slow-shutter, interval recording and Picture Profile™ feature. Additionally, the PMW-EX3 camcorder offers a convenient remote-control and multi-camera operation capability, which allows use with high-end camera systems.
