Total score ? (maximal 570) | 344 | 264 |
| Pros | - Good display
| + good Display HDMI out
|
| Cons | - Image characteristics can not be changed - few image control options
| - SD-quality only average - bad color resolution - Only short clips recordable on DVD
|
| Conclusion | The high resolution of its 3D images is a real novelty in this price range.In automatic mode, beautiful 3D images can be made quickly and easily.Manual control, however, is scarce. | 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. |
