Review: Sony HDR-UX1 Camcorder - Camcorderinfo
Camcorder Info has reviewed the Sony HDR-UX1 camcorder and concludes it is the "best HD value under $1,500 currently on the market". 'The Sony HDR-UX1 is equipped with a 1/3” CMOS sensor, the same chip found on the HDR-HC3, the HDR-SR1, and the DCR-DVD505. This chip offers 2.1 gross MP (that’s 2,100,000 pixels). In 16:9 aspect ratio, the chip produces 1.43 effective MP, and in 4:3, it produces 1.08 effective MP.
