Short Review:
For the enthusiast who wants the picture without the tedium of capturing tapes, editing, rendering and burning onto DVD, this HD camera is perfect. In true HD widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, simply shoot, capturing video directly onto DVD, then pop it in your home theatre system and get the popcorn.
The HDR-UX7 is capable of recording and playing back both high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video recorded on a standard 3” (8cm) DVD media.
Real-Time HD Codec Engine provides efficient MPEG2 compression, and recording and playback of clear HD images at the same bit rate of the DV format, so that high definition video can be later recorded on the same MiniDV cassettes as are used for SD recording.
x.v.Color can capture or display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors than currently possible. This provides a more accurate and vivid color range, for a more natural, lifelike overall experience.
