Hi, thanks for your question. No XDCAM is the format. The XDCAM EX models are great as they use SxS cards, which are those memory cards that you are seeing slots for more and more in Laptops etc nowadays. Other standards in the XDCAM area are IMX (MPEG), XDCAM HD and XDCAM HD422. The recording profile for example for the XDCAM EX is quite similar to the XDCAM HD of the Sony PDW-700. Even the EX models are capable of 4:2:2, contrary to what TVperson1 was implying. Thanks :)
Hi. Thanks for your question. Sony do indeed do 422 HD Camcorders. One example that I have personally really enjoyed using is the SONY PDW-700. For the money they are excellent too. We have an ex demo one on our CVP website today. if you want 422 for Chroma, then the Reflecmedia system is incredible. Thanks Mic
When I went to update my video cameras a few years ago. I had the choice of Sony EX1 & 3. Or Panasonics P2 cameras. I tested them out and went with P2. All the cameras of P2 had 4:2:2 in camera and 100 m/per sec data rate with I frame. Sony only 4:2:0 35 m/per sec. and long GOP. Also P2 camera had global shutters so I could do whip pans and shoot fast action and there would be no wobble in the picture. All Sony cameras had rolling shutters and that awful jello look unless you panned slowly or action was minimal. I am ready to update again and have been waiting for Blackmagic 4K cameras from April (Dec 2013 now). So if the Panasonic 4K camcorder come out first or their new 4K DSLR (GH4) I will get 2 of each. Blackmagic and Sony, you guys blow it everytime.
I also understand the 4:2:0 issue.. but at the end of the day, when broadcast, seeing the difference between that and 4:4:4 is not easy. I reckon it is all techno-babble. This camera shoots stunning images, good enough for 99% of applications for broadcast TV. Leave 4:4:4 to the BBC and David Attenborough. For the rest of us, its a huge waste of money. Just my thoughts
im interested in making short films. i dont know much about these giant cameras. but i have so many ideas for a great movie and i want it to look like a professional movie like the one you see in the movies. some one help me out please im only 17 and i cant afford much

Cameras like the Sony 750 or 900, which are amazing cameras but they would be used with a pro 35 adapter so you could use 35mm film lenses.
is this good for macro/micro shots of nature? In particular, bugs and birds. How is the zoom?

4:2:2 is the standard for BBC at 50mbps.
Except for green screen work where anything less than 4:4:4 dramatically reduces the quality of the key.
Why's it so big?
