The Sony PMW-EX3 is a professional XDCAM EX HD camcorder built for events, broadcast and documentary work.
Three 1/2-inch CMOS sensors, an interchangeable lens, XLR audio and HD-SDI output give you proper pro video features in a body made for long, steady shooting.
The Sony PMW-EX3 is a professional handheld and shoulder-capable camcorder from Sony's XDCAM EX line.
It captures Full HD 1920x1080 video using three 1/2-inch Exmor CMOS sensors, which give clean, colour-accurate footage with a wide dynamic range and low-light shooting down to about 0.14 lux.
It records to solid-state SxS cards using the MPEG-2 Long GOP format, so there is no tape and no moving media to fail in the field.
Unlike a fixed-lens camcorder, the PMW-EX3 has an interchangeable 1/2-inch bayonet lens mount and ships with a supplied Fujinon 14x servo zoom (5.8 to 81.2mm, f/1.9) that covers everything from wide stage shots to tight interview framing.
Built-in ND filters (Clear, 1/8 and 1/64) let you hold exposure and shallow depth of field even in bright conditions.
For sound it has two XLR inputs with phantom power, so you can plug in professional microphones directly and record clean two-channel audio alongside the picture.
For monitoring and live work it offers HD-SDI, HDMI and composite outputs, plus timecode and genlock for keeping several cameras in sync on a multi-camera shoot.
Manual focus, iris, gain and white balance give an experienced operator full control on demanding jobs.
It is a true professional tool for anyone who prefers proper camcorder ergonomics and long, uninterrupted recording over a mirrorless or DSLR rig, which makes it a dependable choice for the events, broadcast and documentary work it was designed for.
It is Full HD, not 4K.
