Digital Video Camera & Camcorder Review

Ever dreamed of the perfect DV camera? No need to wait, here is the Sony HDR-UX1 AVCHD 4MP High-Definition DVD Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom. This camera is being sold only for $650.00, but it is really a super saver considering the list of features that the camera has for you to enjoy.

Among the list of its features are:

• 2.1-megapixel (gross) ClearVid CMOS sensor.
• DVD recording format, in both MPEG2 (SD) and AVCHD, delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV and high definition, but on DVD.
• DVD-R/-RW /+RW compatible allowing the convenience of use like the one found in media DVD.
• 10x optical/80x digital zoom brings the action closer to life. It gives a much clearer view of the picture even at a distant coverage.
• Professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario- Sonnar T* lens, known for advance optical multi-layer coating, the Carl Zeiss lenses provide true-to-life color saturation.
• 3.5-inch wide (16:9) touch-panel hybrid Clear Photo LCD Plus Display (211K pixels) for better viewing.
• Dolby Digital 5.1-channel recording for you to experience your own made movies at home with active sound and effects.
• Digital Still Memory Mode with Memory Stick Duo media, 2304×1728 resolution are given to still images that are captured on every occasion.

Additional Features:
• InfoLithium battery with AccuPower
• Meter system
• Manual focus
• Program AE (Auto Exposure) modes
• Picture effects
• Fader effects
• Battery information
• Easy Handycam button
• Multi-language menu

The camera is really interesting and worth the total cost. The software application that allows movie playbacks lets you make an exact copy of what you have just recorded. Except for the fact that it records in high definition, this camcorder is very similar to the highly rated Sony DVD-505 camcorder.
