Hi Peter.
I own a EX1 and I have settings from Philip Bloom. ( http://philipbloom.co.uk/Philip_Bloom/Home.html )
This makes the camera like film, pritty soft picture.
So, I own the HVX, the JVC and a Z1, and the EX1 is far, far the best for me.
Look at the site of Philip, he the greatest with this camera!
regards, Johan
