Although I love my larger format camera (AF-100), I’ve found it lacking when it comes to shooting b-roll. I’ve struggled with the form factor and the lack of a proper zoom lens with some real reach. Run and gun it is not.

So I’m purchasing the relatively new PMW 300 to shoot b-roll. Pictures look remarkable on this little Sony camera (4:2:2 and 60db SN). I can use my shoulder mount rig to turn it into a proper hand-held camera if needed. Also there is still quite a market for EX-3 shoots (300 is EX-3 successor).

Anyone else out there come to the same conclusion?
