"Good Picture, cool size, ok battery, BUT..."

Its a bit pricey for a home video type camera. Although it has decent features, for the price, you'd expect prosumer quality. If you're planing to use it for normal home videos, its a good cam.

"Good quality video, nice looks and photos but fragile"

Sony makes you use Sony only products. If you use non-Sony DVD-RW's for 1/5 of the cost but same quality the white screen reminds you that you are not using a Sony disc for up to 10 seconds. I like Sony products but their service is lame. My produ

Excellent

I think that the HD is in progress, because when I record in HD HQ, I can't edit the recorded material in the cam before finished the DVD.I don't have been used all the facilities of the cam recorder. Thanks.

"Happy ...BUT"

Poor manual...SONY uses a combination of the HDR-UX5 and the UX7 in one manual....as a consumer I would hope spending just under $1,000 for a camcorder I wouldn't have to wonder through a cut corner manual since they both differ in windows/buttons/di

Would highly recommend

For the product and technical illiterate, this is a great camera. For those who know a little bit more, it is an excellent camera. Easy to set up, use and edit. Placing the dvd directly into the camera is the best! Finalise it, and walk right over to the DVD player...Awesome!

Sony AVCHD means Sony Blu Ray disc player

The prize of this SONY HDR-UX5 camcorder is a bit high. Also, you cannot just purchase this camcorder without also getting a Sony blu ray disc player because you need a Sony blu ray disc player to play the disc on your tv set if you are shooting with high def. Sony uses a video compression...

Pretty good but it could be better

I upgraded from a Sony DCR-HC30E that was 3 years old to this new HD camera and these are the pros and cons that I have found:Pros:* High definition. Pretty amazing quality on good light conditions even when conected to a 32" Samsung LCD TV that is only HD Ready (not full 1080i)* 16x9 rather than...

"Length of movies the only drawback"

The camera in comparison to others is great! i'd rate it 7.5, but since I can not do so, I give it 8, since I like this camera so much [ ] Pros: 1. High Definition 2. Easy operation, I have not gone beyond the first few pages of the manual yet, and I
