I already have one a Sony HDR-UX10 camcorder, and the one I've just purchased on ebay is my second unit. I am part of a ghost hunter group and these camcorders work very well with night shot and regular lighting. I've seen reviews stating that the touch-screen menus are unintuitive, but the menus on this unit are pretty much the same as the more expensive HDD units (HDR-SR10/11/12, etc). Bottom line, the menus take getting used to, just as you would become familiar with menus on any electronic device. I personally use higher speed Sandisk VideoHD ProDuo cards, which actually work great for roughlly 3hrs of HiDef recording an 8GB. I tried a slower speed ProDuo card but it occasionally causes a few frames to be jerky in HiDef. It still works good in standard format. I've also heard bad things about using DVD's. I made the mistake of finalizing two DVD/RW discs. I unwittingly finalized two before figurint out that there is no way to unfinalize and use them again. Finalizing is normally how you make the DVD/-R discs usable in your DVD player. HiDef works great, particularly for our ghost hunting endeavors. This is why I'm purchasing a second unit... one for hand-held, one static on tripod. This camcorder is able to snap 4MP digital still photos, even while you are recording video. Only drawback is that the flash is rendered inoperative while recording in video mode, which makes sense. Overall, my personal opinion... if you want a really good quality HiDef camcorder that records audio in Dolby 5.1 surround (or stereo), and if the HDD units are out of your price range, the HDR-UX10 does an awesome job when you use the high-speed ProDuo memory as mentioned above. PROS: - It's pretty lightweight (about 1.5 pounds) - software (Picture Motion Browser) is decent and works with the facial recognition feature of the camcorder. Also converts your HiDef video/audio to WMV files or burns them to disc - Great video and audio quality - Accepts tele and wide lenses - Nightshot works good with built-in IR and with additional IR units CONS: - Potentially choppy video depending on whether DVD or slower ProDuo media are used - Somewhat difficult menusRead full review
This cam is exactly what ive been looking for! And i got it at a great price. the still camera shots are a lot better than i thought , good enough that i may sell my nikon d50 which is a 6mp. The sound is great 5.1 surround sound ! the quality in high def is like watching a blue ray movie on your PS3. One thing if you dont have a tv thats in HD 1080 or at least 720 dpi than I wouldnt recommend buying this Camcorder. because you will not enjoy the quality that you have just recorded at its best! The best think I like is the fact you can choose the quality and believe there are many options! You can also dub (record from the memory stick to a mini dvd that is in the camcorder. I do recommend buying a memory card for it at least 8gb. Also having some dvd rw are very handy as well. The least thing i disliked is the fact that you cant plug in a wall charger while recording, I believe this was done on purpose from Sony so that you would have to buy an extended battery. Not cool since we are paying enough money for the camcorder. Well another thing to look at is the HDR-UX20 and the only difference is that it has a 8 gig internal memory. Well hope this helps you when deciding on a new cam.Read full review
Simple to use, lightweight, and the image quality is great. Camcorders may seem like relics, but I think there still is a place on the market for off-line, dedicated hand video recorders.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I love the fact that you can change the memory meaning you can either use a memory stick, or use sony mini dvd's. I also love the fact that there is no blur as far as I know and the quality is fairly well. I have not used the HD mode because it drains too much of the memory and battery, but HQ level is really well and steady.
The HDR-UX10 has 4.0 MEGA PIXELS NOT 10.2 AS stated in this sellers ad. I do have the camera myself and I do like it very much.... great weight, compact, and easy to use. I also like the different media uses.
