Listen up,

I need a camera soon. Im buying from this guy REAL cheap. I have seen them and used them so I know they work. I have a choice between the two. I can go low priced for a C-MOS $1500 or go high for a PMWEX1R $5000 but I NEED to know if there is actually much difference between the two and instead on wasting money for a couple extra features, buy for less and still have a sweet cam. The PMWEX1R comes with 3 lenses including the standard lense. but the CMOS just has the Stock lense

I think that if you're not able to make this decision for yourself, you shouldn't even be considering spending 5000$ on a camera.

You could get an ex1 for way cheaper than 5000 and if you want a good cheap professional camera, check out a used hvx200 or hpx170. Completely forget about 1080i HDV, its old and outdated, tapes are shitty, stick with solid state memory.

Thats actually a fantastic price on an EX1 with three lenses, I'd say get it if you are willing to pay that much. I know duncan lake shoots on an EX1 if i'm not mistaken.
