    Fair enough, I did not mean to offend.

    I do own a Red One, #3306. I love it.

    i know its not 100 000 but i was trying to make a point for him by saying its very pricey, he thought it was a prosumer camera and its defiantly not, i was just letting him know. Do you actually own a red one?

  5. halifaxreds says:

    The Red One is not …
    The Red One is not 100,000. It is 17500 for the body, and you add components from there. I put together a perfectly functional package for under 30,000. Still not cheap, but certainly more affordable than any other 4K camera on the market (most of which ARE over 100,000) not to mention most other digital cinema cameras.
    You don’t want to make the mistake of just buying a Red One and uming you can just start shooting. It’s a precision tool, and requires understanding and practice.

    the red one is like 100,000 bucks incase u didn’t know, also this camera is pretty advanced so if you want something to START off with, i’d go with like a canon xl2, or canon xh a1 or something along the lines of that, there much less expensive and have great picture quality, the xl2 is standard def and the xh a1 is hd

    I was told this is great prosumer camera to start with until i have enough money to afford the RED ONE, is it true?

    Hi Phillip,
    Just watched your review about the EX3. Just one question- would you recommend this camera to a wannabe documentary/HD film maker, such as myself, over, say, the Canon XLHD? If you could answer, I’d be very grateful, as I’m in the market for my first camera!
    Cheers,
    Simon.

    PS: Would love to get a DOF adapter on it.

    But I’ve used it hand held a couple of times and 10mins in your arms will start to feel the burn. I’ve also found the stock lenses focus ring stops working. I literally have to turn the camera off and then back on… Which is a pain when it take 10secs to boot.

  23. lukewillson says:

    oh okay – I use an …
    oh okay – I use an EX3 everyday at work and love it to bits. Just a shame the 8GB cards from sony cost so much. We bought a load of kensington adapters with SD cards and they work great. Can’t over crank though. I love the idea of a shoulder mount.

  24. philipbloom says:

    this is not …
    this is not expensive! when i started out a camera of equivalent quality would have set you back over £60k. This is a price breakthrough, 1/2inch full hd solid state etc…

  25. philipbloom says:

    picture quality is …
    picture quality is identical to ex1 hence i didnt comment on it
