The next installment of Sony’s foray into HD Camcorders is here with the release of the HDR-UX1 and HDR-SR1 Handycam models.
“These are the first consumer camcorders to record in full 1080i HD resolution and Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound, offering a choice in recording media. While the HDR-UX1 model records directly to readily-available, three-inch DVD discs for effortless playback and sharing, the HDR-SR1 camcorder’s built-in 30GB hard drive facilitates mass video storage as well as in-camcorder and PC editing.”
Other information:
- Both models support the new AVCHD(TM) camcorder recording format based on the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec for video compression and Dolby digital audio.
- HD content from both devices recorded onto DVD can be played back on Blu-ray devices - including the PS3.
- The HDR-UX1 will be available in September for $1400. The HDR-SR1 will be available in October for about $1500.
