<<A friend of mine is about to (or considering) buying the Sony EX1R CineAlta video camera but he has questions about the workflow. As I understand it this is a long GOP, XDCAM camera? Am I totally wrong?>>
Yes, Long GOP. EX files.
The camera is the EX1 with revisions to answer some of the problems with original. Still a lousy camera to handhold though. Not sure how you got CineAlta in there though. That is the upper line of SR cameras. Not even the same division of Sony.
<<But if I'm right, what is the general post workflow? Getting the files out of the camera, cutting with them at full rex, etc.?>>
SxS cards that can be copied onto a drive (At least two for safety). You can mount them directly in Avid 3.5 and up via AMA and start editing, for longer term work, you should transcode them to DNxHD.
You can use cheap digital cards via an adapter you can buy on the internet which makes them basically as cheap to keep as hard drives eliminating the copying step. You lose some off speed shooting ability with the this approach.
