Hitachi Launches First Blu-ray Camcorder:clap:
Hitachi has created and officially launched the world’s first Blu-ray camcorder. It has announced two versions of Blu-ray disc camcorders. Both camcorders have the ability to record full high-definition video directly to a single-side, single-layer Blu-ray disc giving up to one hour of 1920×1080 resolution video on the disc.
The DZ-BD7H model is actually a “hybrid†camcorder with the ability to record the high-definition video to either the Blu-ray disc or an internal 30GB hard drive which can hold up to four hours of the 1920×1080 high-def video. Once recorded onto the hard drive the camera itself can transfer the video onto the Blu-ray disc without the need for any external components. :clap:
Both cameras have all the same features but the DZ-BD70 model does not have the internal HDD and has only the Blu-ray disc. Both Hitachi Blu-ray camcorders make use of a high-definition lens and 5.3 megapixel progressive CMOS sensor which does 2.07 megapixles for video and 4.32 for still images.
I definitely want this one, camcorder with blu-ray + HD.
I'll make my own HD movie then

Hitachi has created and officially launched the world’s first Blu-ray camcorder. It has announced two versions of Blu-ray disc camcorders. Both camcorders have the ability to record full high-definition video directly to a single-side, single-layer Blu-ray disc giving up to one hour of 1920×1080 resolution video on the disc.
The company will launch two models. The first is the DZ-BD7H which sports a Blu-ray drive and a 30GB hard disk drive and can record up to record roughly four hours of 1920 x 1080 full high-def video, or 8 hours 1440x1080 high-def video.
The second model is the DZ-BD70, a non HDD version that can record a measly one hour of 1920 x 1080 video or two hours of 1440x1080 video on an 8cm BD disc. It might not sound like a lot on the second camera but those discs can still store five times more than a blank 8cm DVD.
