The XDCAM EX PMW-EX1R is the direct successor to Sony’s first entry into memory recording – the PMW-EX1. The PMW-EX1R features a range of ergonomic enhancements of the EX1, including an improved hand grip, a one-push S & Q switch and a one-push Auto Iris button. Other enhancements include SD recording in DVCAM, a Cache Recording Function, an Image Inversion Function and an IR remote control receptor on the rear of the camcorder’s handle allowing remote control from both the front and the rear of the camcorder. The PMW-EX1R utilizes three 1/2-inch type Exmor™ CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V). This technology delivers superior picture performance with full-HD resolution and allows the camcorder to provide an excellent sensitivity of F10 and a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of 54dB. The PMW-EX1R produces truly exceptional images in 1080p, 720p and 1080i HD. The PMW-EX1R is equipped with a high-quality, high-definition Fujinon 14x zoom lens specifically designed to offer optimum picture performance and unprecedented functionality. The full Sony XDCAM EX line-up provides stunning HD picture quality and efficient nonlinear operation, expanding the creative possibilities in every type of HD video production.

*Hoodman adaptors, kits and SDHC cards are an alternative replacement for Sony's SxS Media. The Hoodman solution utilizes an adapter that fits into the SxS slot on the camera. Into the adapter fits a relatively low cost SDHC card. The camera records onto the SDHC card, “piggybacked” through the SxS card adapter.
We want to make sure that our customers do their research, and understand the performance differences inherent in their use.
The first major difference is that the Hoodman solution is only available in a 16GB capacity. Although 32GB SDHC cards do exist, none are currently problem-free enough for Hoodman to offer it with their adapter. Users of the Hoodman adapter who have tried it with other brands of 32GB SDHC cards have had very sporadic experience and numorous problems with it. Next, over/under cranking will be a problem. The Hoodman solution does not support slow or quick motion recording with EX cameras. There are also situations where the media is not recognized by the camera, as reported by actual EX camera users. If files are written back to the SDHC card during ingest, which is sometimes the case with Macs, (where an index file is written back to the card), the camcorder most likely will not “restore the media” with the SDHC card as it would with Sony's SxS or PHU media. In rare cases contact problems may occur because the media is not directly in contact with the camera, but piggybacked through the adapter. Lastly, due to the Hoodman solution utilizing USB2 technology for data transfer vs. the Sony SxS PCI ExpressCard standard, data transfer rates to your computer or hard drive will be slower, so transferring footage will take longer.
The XDCAM EX system was specially engineered by Sony using the camera and SXS or PHU Media together. Sony cannot rely on 3rd party manufacturers whose manufacturing practices and components may vary, possibly compromising the performance and reliability of the equipment. We suggest you make sure of what you are buying and do not make a buying decision based solely on the initial purchase cost, or on something you heard or saw on the internet.
In closing, remember that Sony may not support the usage of alternative media, and may not be able to help solve any problems that you may encounter as they normally would when using Sony media.  More importantly, although this alternative media can be purchased, it cannot be returned.
