NX5 vs EX1r - Nightclub / events shooting?

i use z1 event videography, largely in nightclubs.
low light of z1 above average (if gain set 18db - grainy tv, encoding mpg4, grain tends smoothed out not bad web). know few nightclub shooters drop shutter 1/25 leads slight stop motion look.

want new cam thats great in low light, can used handheld approx 4-6 hours on / off (collecting approx 2 hours of footage), flexible auto focus / exposure sometimes, easier put in auto if doing fast movement on dancfloor etc..id gives great hd image quality - z1 'crummy' bless hdv cotton socks.

ive used nx5 before fitness dvd shoot , beach / nightclub shooting (though havent watched footage back). have soft spot cam, 128gb module means dont have worry running out of sd cards or tapes in case of z1 set up.

nx5 vs ex1r

both great in low light - ex1r better

handheld - ex1r heavier - can overcome using left hand support, resting cam near head, rest z1 on shoulder.
ex1r - shoulder mount - there mount crowded events? ie 1 folds up, find have camera pointing avoid getting lens damage , hitting when moving around not filming.
nx5 - same z1, little bit bigger, heavier similar , can negate shoulder rig.

recording media

nx5 wins @ cost of heavily compressed avchd? 24mbs of lit environment enough tv ? bbc require min of 35mbps. ive been speaking freind making fly on wall doc, theres spoke cam used film tv.

ex1r can take 32gb sdhc cards recording 2hours? of footage @ 35mbps.
ex1r doesnt dual record memory sticks, unlike nx5 can second sd card or flash module. how reliable sd recording on ex1r? using mxm adapter of course (not sxs ones)

 

i check bbc first before buying have approved list of cameras accept footage (if plan them 1 day).
