The specifications and details of the two models were announced to us and that including the list price and the stock availability. That has marked a new milestone for all 4K recording as an entry level for Premium UX Series Video Production.
The UX Series camcorders delivers a magnificent 4K performance with astonishing features including a breakthrough designed Leica Dicomar 4K compact lens with a industry’s widest angle, i.e. the wide 24mm angle (4K 24p, 17:9). for an integrated lens camcorder.
The premium AG-UX180 features a high-powered 20x optical zoom which covers the range from 24 mm at the wide-angle to the telescopic end of 480 mm.
A 1.0-type (effective size) MOS sensor is incorporated in both models to provide them with the same level of sensitivity as other conventional handheld camcorders. It also supports the extensive and easy-to-use MOV (QuickTime), MP4 and AVCHD file formats.
The Expanded O.I.S in the UX Series features a very Intelligent Auto Focus for easy operation and high reliability that has made 4K shooting much easier than before.
The camcorder’s two SD card slots enable seamless relay recording by simply changing SD memory cards and allow recording at the same time.
The four lens groups could be driven on its own at the same time by the lens system. The lens size and drive range for each of the four groups can be efficiently suppressed to produce quality image and max up its zoom power.
There is a 3.5-type LCD monitor embedded inside the camcorders’ handle section, ready to be pulled out and rotated at 270 degrees vertically for easier viewing at high-angle or low angle.
