Pros + 50P Recording
+ Big wide angle
+ Good touch functions
+ Very good low light behavior
+ good Display
HDMI out
Cons - Image characteristics can not be changed
- few image control options
- Small (touch) screen
- SD-quality only average
- bad color resolution
- Only short clips recordable on DVD
Conclusion The hardware configuration is quite interesting considering the price range.The sharp display could be somewhat larger though.The wide-angle with virtually no lens distorsion is unique.The Bildqualiät and the low light performance are also competitive.Those who can do without helpful things like histogram or changeable image characteristics get a nice piece of technology for a reasonable price.For ambitious filmmakers who want more control over their shooting the competition offers more value for the money.For a AVCHD model the Sony HDR-UX1 offers only average brightness resolution, the color resolution is beneath SD-level.Occasionally significant (colored) moirees can be seen on fine details.The subjective image impression is satisfactory, which may be due tothe maximum data rate of 12 Mbit.Color-wise the UX1E is pleasantly coherent.The wide angle is very small, on the other hand there are few lens errors.In low light situations the UX 1E performs satisfactory.
