Current clients that want XDCAM usually want an EX1/EX3, but often I have been renting a PMW350, and using my better HD lens plus batteries and support gear, so getting a little bit of a gear rental out of it. Point is sometimes the client brings SxS media. These are NBC Universal and corporate clients as well.

Considering a PMW300/200 1/2 inch camera in the near future, but also haven’t discounted the Sony FS7. I have heard rumors that the FS7 will replace the EX3/EX1 type jobs in a lot of circles. Supposedly, a lot of programs may move toward large sensor acquisition. Both the PMW series and FS7 can shoot XDCAM format/codec, from reading the specs.

Does anyone have any experience or future predictions? Any trends you already see happening?
