Why XDCAM for video or 'film' or production or television ?

Our PMW EX package also has a B4 2/3" lens adapter to so we can mount our 2/3 HD Canon, Angenieux, & Fuji lenses onto our PMW EX3 as well. The EX3 has had a proven track record used by several producers, camera people, production companies, even networks, with many news satellite trucks carrying the PDW and PMW VTR units for playback.
