I am seriously interested in getting the PMW-EX1 but would like to see the workflow (and if my computer can handle them) with some clips before investing the money. Does anyone know if there is any site to download a couple of sample clips to try it out? Thanks
If your computer can handle HDV no reason why it'd not handle MXF.
Aside from that given the cost of the EX1 and the other accessories you'll find yourself buying the cost of a newer computer would seem rather trivial.
I guess I should also ask exactly what you mean by "handle". There are people handling XDCAM EX on HP 2133 laptops which very low spec machines.
