XDCAM EX - New Generation HD Recording System. Offering two SxS PRO memory card slots, a 3.5inch high resolution LCD screen and a wide range of analogue and digital interfaces including HD-SDI input, the PMW-EX30 has been designed to be the ideal companion to not only the existing EX line up of camcorders, but also as a low-cost HD recorder for the live event and entry-level studio market.

Along with all these features, the recorder offers the same thumbnail operation and clip access as the camcorders, including the card copy function.
