Hitachi DZ-BD7HA (BluRay 5.3MP DVD Hybrid High Definition Camcorder with 30GB Hard Drive & 10x Optical Zoom)

January 30th, 2008

Hitachi DZ-BD7HA (BluRay 5.3MP DVD Hybrid High Definition Camcorder with 30GB Hard Drive & 10x Optical Zoom) is Hitachi’s newest tapeless camcorder using new 8 cm rewritable BluRay disks which hold about an hour of full high def video. This may be great for you if you already have other BluRay devices. But it also comes with a 30 gig hard drive and can also record to mini DVD. If you’ve already decided on mini BluRay disc technology than this could be the camcorder for you.

Features:
5.3-megapixel, 1/2.8-inch CMOS image sensor offers 2.07mp (effective) for video mode (16×9) and 4.32mp (effective)
Hitachi high-resolution image processing LSI
1-second Quick Start
Built-in Interactive Guide
500x Digital Zoom

On the downside, indoor video quality is poor and focus time can be a bit long.

It lists for about $1500 but you can find it for around $1000.
