EX1 XD Cam Example.
Since I figured I would be asked, I put together a sample video of some lightning that I shot while driving.

This is three clips of lightning while driving. The first part of each clip is the normal speed. The second part is slowed down 50% to show the scan lines from the CMOS.
If this was shot on a CCD setup, the footage would be great for stock but since this is shot on CMOS, the scan lines ruin the footage.
This was shot on a EX1 while storm chasing. If you want I can upload the full frame 1920x1080 Mpeg2 to your server to review the footage but it will be pretty huge.
Bottom line, EX1 is a sweet camera but not for what I do. I will give up the full frame rolling shutter for the P2 global shutter just to get a cleaner image in the end in DVCPROHD even if it is not true 1920x1080.
Also, not to rip on Sony because the Z1U is a sweet camera with CCD setup. Just bummed they did not go CCD with the EX1.
I guess if your just shooting interviews and basic news, the EX1 will work just fine.
I just need something more for the extreem weather...
