Read the box already........January 8, 2005 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
First off, some of these people who offer reviews need to stick to beta and 8 tracks. In reference to a previous review, of course it doesn't playback, its a freakin recorder. Second, just because it lacks a remote doesn't make it bad (get up and start the record process yourself!!!!!!!!!) I digress though, I purchased one of these so I could watch movies on long plane rides from DC to LA via my Clie UX-50. I load up a 1 or 2 gig memory stick with about a half a dozen movies and I am in a happy minature video coma for hours. Of course I have to initially deflect all the curious questions about the UX-50. Ughh. The bottom line is that this is a great product that does EXACTLY what it is designed to do.... record video to memory sticks for later viewing on other memory stick compatible products. Sure its expensive, but its cutting edge, well designed and its a Sony product. If you havn't noticed, Sony products are not cheap. You get what you pay for.
Fantastic device...June 26, 2004 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I love this unit. You can choose to record at, basically, 3 quality levels. The sound and picture are great on my Sony UX-50. Many will consider it an expensive toy, but the quality is fantastic and I enjoy it. For the person that has everything...
Prototypes should remain in R&DDecember 7, 2003 22 out of 28 found this review helpful
I bought this system when there were no reviews based on: o Trusting the Sony brand name. o Impulse Buy after getting a Clie As to every device, there are pros and cons. Problem is when the cons >> Pros.
Pros: o System is small, Light Weight. o Can be placed vertical or horizontal. o Accepts MS & MS Pro (30 min for every 128 megs approx. at high quality) o Can record at various quality levels for memory efficincy. o Line-in and Line-out + RF in.
Cons: o System ONLY RECORDS, it does not play what you recorded, so playing recordings on a big screen TV is out of the question. o No remote provided, which means you have to get up every time you want to start or stop a recording. Placing the system in a small space between your TV and DVD player adds the disadvantage of awkward button pressing. o Way too expensive. for the price of 2 I can get a top quality DVD recorder. o Recordings do not play on a PC.
Sony always does this,come up with a great product (Clie) and flood the market with prototype add-ons that are discontinued due to 'lack of sales'. I hope this trend doesn't last long.
