These are the two cameras out right now that I am particularily excited about. They are in completely different classes and price ranges, but both are, in my opinion top in their class. Let's look at the contenders.
RED ONE...the impressive 4K digital cinema camera. It takes 35mm lenses, it has tons of resolution as well as up to 120 frames per second in 2K. It produces truly cinematic images, and is becoming hugely popular even on major Hollywood productions. But it's big, and expensive (relative to the EX1) and has a hefty workflow.
Sony EX1...also impressive in it's own right. It bears Sony's coveted CineAlta tag, and rightfully should. It produces true 1080P images, it records to Sony's XDCAM EX format and can shoot up to 60 frames per second in 720P. It has features like HDSDI that are usually only seen on much more expensive systems. But it has a 1/2" image sensor, a fixed lens and only records at 1080P.
Which one suits your needs the best?
