I’m a little behind the times with this post, but I have a good excuse for that.

I couldn’t really make up my mind about the EX3!

The Tech-Gadget-Guy in me loves all the improvements over the EX1:  Removable lenses, better EVF, Larger size(for shoulder mounting), dock for a 60gb HD, and a better clip sorting menu.  But I really have to ask myself:  Is it worth the hefty pricetag?

We’re talking about a $2k-$3k difference depending on the extras you get w/ the camera.  I fancy myself a shooter, so I really LOVE the idea of replaceable lenses.  In fact, it’s why my company purchased the XL-H1.

But in reality, it’s 2 years later, and we’ve still only got the stock lens for the H1.  Which leads me to believe that even if I owned an EX3, I wouldn’t really need additional lenses for it.  If I was planning on renting lenses, I would go with 35mm film lenses and an image converter.  But at the same time….what a cool feature for a camera at this price point!  I’ll have to reserve judgement until I see how many different lenses we can get for the EX3.

Given the way technology moves, I can guess that there will be a brand new camera by the time I make up my mind…figures…
