I started my search for a camera around 3 months ago. It came down to the Sony ex3, the panasonic 300 and the jvc 700.
I liked the image of the Sony ex3 and a 1/2" chip is great. I didn't like the way it sits on the shoulder. Very front heavy. Plus the sxs cards are pricey.
The panasonic 300 was tempting with a full 1920x1080 chip. By the time I buy the camera with lens, batteries and p2 cards the price was getting pretty high.
So I landed on the jvc 700 with the fuji 17x lens. I love how it sits on my shoulder. Everything is laid out well. The LCD is big and clear. The 1280x720 images are very crisp. Much better than the 1920x1080 interlaced. The media is cheap. Especially an off brand like Transcend. My only complaint so far is the blacks are a touch noisy. For the price it is a pretty incedible camera.
I hope to try the PL mount with prime lenses in the future.
