SONY 1080P EX CINEALTA CAMERAS
We are proud to announce our newest addition, the Sony
PMW-EX1/3. This new powerhouse is Tapeless, has full HD 1920 by 1080 chips,
and is an incredible low-light performer. This is a tremendous advance
in Event Videography.
The Pros & Cons So Far
To date, the most popular HD camera choices for wedding & event work have been the Sony Z1 & FX1, Panasonic HVX200, Canon XH A1 & XL H1. These are all fine cameras and we have been filming with the Sony Models for 3 years.
PROS
The great advantage to these cameras are their terrific resolution when
viewed in actual HD. Further, they film in native widescreen. With
the vast majority of consumers now having widescreen TV's, this is
a wonderful plus. High Definition resolution is a sight to behold when
used well. After all, you DO NOT want every line in your face to be
distinct. Our experience in working with HD assists us in handling
this problem with ease. With plenty of light, these cameras are terrific,
and we will continue to use them in our standard packages.
CONS
Light. The one flaw in these first generation HD cameras is low light
performance. Quite simply, they struggle in low light. The Sony handles
the low light better than the others, not because it is any brighter
but because it doesn't exhibit the graniness the others seem to display.
Resolution. While the resolution is quite high in these first generation cameras, they DO NOT use true 1920 by 1080 chips. They use 1440 by 1080 chips and use mathematical tricks to deliver a very fine picture. This resolution is far greater than standard DV. But it is not true HD. The EX1/3 films in true 1080p.
Tape. These first generation cameras record to tape. This means the inevitable tape jam, data loss, drop-outs, etc. that tape incurs. Further, the record times are just over an hour. This means for the average wedding or event a tape change must occur somewhere during the ceremony.
NEXT GENERATION ARRIVES
With the advent of the Sony PMW-EX1 (EX-1 for short) every limitation
of the first generation cameras has been overcome. It is a stunning
low light performer, actually seeing images brighter than the human
eye. It has true 1920 by 1080 chips, 1/2 inch in size, and can shoot
true 1080p. For an explanation see: http://tinyurl.com/2tyuc9. This
is actual HD resolution. It also uses no tape and no hard drive. It
records to flash memory. No tape change, virtually endless recording
times, no drop-out worries, no tape jams. This camera, which we proudly
offer first in the Bay Area is, in a word, incredible.
CANON 5D MARK II PHOTO CAMERA
This new 20 megapixel photo camera records very shallow depth of field HD video! While it has many limitations including 12-minute recording time, lack of professional audio, etc., it can be a very interesting floating camera or "extra" tool for those who like the look. Check out
the video below to see some imagery. Notice the film-like depth of
field, where foreground objects are in focus while background objects
are out of focus. What a great look!
