\n

I dusted off my Sony PMW-EX1 Camera this month to shoot a bit of work-related video, I’d last used it a few years ago, and I was curious to see how well it aged. Well the first casualty was the Sony brand battery which couldn’t hold a charge at all. Everything else however seemed to be working fine. A replacement battery <\/a>from SWIT seems to have sorted things out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next problem was getting some fresh storage for it. When I originally worked with the camera I’d used a combination of 16gb and 8gb SxS cards and few awkward SD Card adaptors. However I decided to try out a Sonnet SD card adaptor<\/a> which allowed the data compartment door to be closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next experiment was to try a variety of different SD card sizes to see what the largest size my latest firmware EX-1 could handle. The good news was that even cards up to 512GB work,<\/em> however only the first 78.9GB seems to be seen by the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s certainly an odd one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary: there isn’t a huge advantage to buying SD Cards bigger than 64GB for the Sony PMW-EX1, but there isn’t any harm either. 78.9GB is enough for nearly five hours of highest quality footage – certainly more than enough for my needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m hoping the camera will continue to be useful for a few more years, however, the lack of 1080p60 is starting to feel a bit limiting in this youtube era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
