Product Description
Experience the exciting world of high definition video with the HDR-UX10. Hybrid recording technology lets you choose your recording format, DVD or removable Memory Stick(R) PRO Duo media.

-Excelent and clear video
There some problem with traspassing video to others format without an appropiate software that is not incluide
Very good night shot
Not possible to record more than 15 min with single dvd disc in HD video.
That the razon it's cheap and because of it Sony create UX20 with memory include
very good photos and easy to copy



5 out of 5 stars HDR-UX10: full HD video, low price, take photos@4mp, Sony; excellent deal.   October 5, 2008

Excellent HD cam at a low price,
- it's a SONY,
- the video quality is very very good, 1080i! FULL HD, crystal clear.
- the 5.1 channels mic records amazing sound.
- the menus are easy to use, if you dont get it: use the "easy" button, it sets up the cam and you're good to go.
- the photos are very good taken thanks to the "Steadyshot" feature and the integrated flash. You can take photos at any time during video recording.
- the "night shot" func. really works.
- it fits in your hand perfectly and it has a good weight, not too light nor heavy.
- transfers to PC are easy and fast. just connect the usb, it's software detects it and download the videos, once it's done you can watch the videos on Windows media player, if you have any issue doing so, just google: "ffdshow" and download this codecs pack, so your pc can play almost any kind video out there.
- If you have a PS3, just plug the memory stick and play the vids.
- The photos can be transferred without using the sony software just copy/paste.

Opportunity:
-The Slow motion feature could be better, you won't get good video quality using this function, it's helpful if you just need to observe something in slowmo but not if you want to make an artistic video or something like that. What i do is take the regular video on HD and slow it down with Windows Movie Maker ;P (You can speed it up too)

This a very good HD camcorder for the price; you can't go wrong with SONY.

Edit: here is the link to the actual codecs you may need to play the videos with Windows Media Player,

Just install them and you're good to go.

I'm very happy with this camcorder. The definition is awesome especially in good lighting, not so good in dim lighting, but I think that goes for all camcorders. It's recommended to play back the DVD's on a compatible player like Blue Ray to get HD, as a matter of fact in the instructions it warns against playing the movies back on regular DVD players because it could erase/damage your disk. I recommend buying the double sided mini DVD disks, each side holds about 25-30 min of video.

An excellent HD camcorder. Saves to DVD+RW or ProDUO (I use the 8 GB Sony). Pictures are crystal clear, and the 5.1 surround sound is excellent (sounds exactly as if you're outdoors). An excellent price too, listed as top buy in Money Magazine.
