Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony HDR-UX20 4MP DVD Hybrid Plus High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 8GB Flash Memory & 15x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Overall great camera value -- very flexible
Summary: 5 Stars
The good:
- It's very flexible. The ability to record to 8GB internal or a 8GB flash card ("Memory Stick Pro Duo") is excellent. No moving parts, so the battery lasts forever (or at least a good long time).
- Picture quality great in good lighting.
- You can record to the memory or card, and then use the camera to burn to a mini-DVD only those clips you want -- even at your mother-in-law's house (in the same format as you recorded).
- You can record everything in HD, transfer the files to a PC, and then burn them to a full size DVD in either HD (in AVHCD format to play on a BluRay player) or SD (standard definition to play on a normal DVD player).
The not perfect:
- Low light performance gets grainy pretty quickly. It works fine -- just not a wonderful picture.
- The video editing software that comes with the camera is very basic, too. No ability to create transitions between scenes or any other expected niceties of a movie-making package. I'm using an old copy of SONIC DigitalMedia Plus to make DVD's from the files -- works great for SD recording (the folks I sent DVD's to don't have BluRay).
- The touch screen is a little small -- you get used to it.
All in all -- great product -- would buy it again.
