I've been a professional film DP for over 35 years, but am now considering digital HD.
I do principally wildlife for television, and am thinking of purchasing the Sony PMW-EX3 XDCAM EX HD Camcorder for this purpose. I need the answers to several very important questions:
1. Would a show shot entirely with this camcorder be acceptable to companies like the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, PBS, etc. ??
2. Can Nikon 35mm lenses be mounted on this camera, and what adapters are available for this purpose?
3. Are 16mm film lenses adaptable to this camera, and if so, how?
4. What is the equipment I would need for downloading, editing, and copying the digital information off the flash cards? Computer requirements, etc.
5. Is there an Arri lens adapter available?
I'd appreciate any help you could give me if you are familiar with this camcorder and own one or have used one for production.
Thanks.
