The new Sony XDCAM EX Camera System is yet another amazing engineering achievement in Sony camera technology, and is a must see.Mike DesRoches from Sony will be walking attendees through the jam-packed feature set, discussing workflow options, and sharing some of the incredible footage already captured with this camera. ****After the session, Sony will be raffling off one Platinum Pass for the entire festival.****
