The Sony PMW-EX1 offers a choice of a 35Mb/s High Quality mode or a 25Mb/s, HDV 1080i compatible mode. To take advantage of this high performance recording capability, the PMW-EX1 uses an all-new imaging system consisting of three 1⁄2-inch type CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920x1080 to produce images in full HD resolution. In addition, there's a purpose-built Fujinon Professional HD 1⁄2-inch 14x lens and a unique dual focus ring mechanism.

In fact, there are innovations in every detail of the PMW-EX1, from its IT-friendly MP4 file format to advanced creative features, such as selectable gamma curves and "Slow & Quick Motion" (over-crank and under-crank) capability.

To maximize recording time, the PMW-EX1 has two memory card slots, which means with a pair of 16 GB SxS PRO memory cards it can record up to 140 minutes of HD footage.

A wide variety of accessories are also available, including a USB Reader/Writer, a wide-conversion lens, battery and charger.

The PMW-EX1 HD compact camcorder is the ideal solution for a wide range of customers from broadcasters to independent videographers and filmmakers who want exceptional HD picture quality and state-of-the-art workflow from a compact and affordable camcorder.
