Sony Handycam® HDR-UX5 DVD Camcorder

Pros: User functionality, Image and Sound quality
Cons: Price

I was skeptical at first when I came across the Sony HDR-UX5, I had never been a big fan of disk drive camcorders. When I first opened the box I found the camcorder and instructions to be self explanatory, everything was ready to go right out of the box. ...

Pros: excellent night vision, small, easy to use
Cons: blurry images, night vision takes more than half battery in one 5 min use

I cant explain how disappointed I was to have gotten this camera.. after all the reviews I read I finally decided to get this camera.. big bummer... the night vision is great!!! Sadly when using the night vision your battery drains twice as fast.

Now the regular vision of the camera.. OMG it is horrible I have never felt so ripped off! it looks all pixalated and blurry..

Now keep in mind that this camera is not good for fast motion things as well as capture at the moment things..Let me explain when I was at Disneyland and was trying to record the parade the moment I took out my camera it was blurry I had to wait about 30 second sometimes even more and had to focus on something solid (not moving) once I got the image I was ready to record..The moment I put down the camera and wanted to record again I had to do the whole process again.. Im so angry That I did not get a full diagnostic on this camera and better reviews..
