Sony HDR-UX7 High Definition Camcorder

Sony has developed four new high definition camcorders which were shown at the CES 2007 show. ux7.jpg Of these four new models, the top of the line model is the HDR-UX7, a professional quality high definition camcorder.

The Sony HDR-UX7 features the three megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor, which produces exceptional 1080i HD video quailty, as well as six-megapixel digital still photos. It also features Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization, and other hybrid benefits such as blur-free results on digital stills and video.

The ClearVid CMOS sensor also allows you to recorder in slow motion and dual record modes. With the slow record function, you can create slow motion video by playing back short video clips at 240 frames per second. A new feature is voice memo, which allows you to playback those clips with audio recordings. The dual record mode allows you to shoot video while simultaneously capturing a 4.6 megapixel digital still picture.

The HDR-UX7 incorporates x.v.Color technology, which supports a much wider data range of colors compared to the conventional sRGB standard. According to the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom, the x.v.Color technology range is closer to colors that the human eye can recognize.

Videos can be recorded direct to blank 3" DVDs for playback, sharing, and archiving. HD content recorded on DVDs can also be played back on select Blue-ray devices, including the Playstation 3.

You can also expect to experience premium sound with the built-in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound recording for integration into home-theater equipped living rooms. The HDR-UX7 will be available in stores in March at the retail price of $1,300.
