Hitachi’s Blue-Ray Camcorders: An edge to camcorder technology While the idea of Blue-ray camcorders seems to be catching up like wildfire, you wouldn’t quite know the reason why, un-till you see Hitachi’s version of this cool methodology. The DZ-BD7H and DZ-BD70 models of Hitachi record High-Definition video at 1920×1080-pixel resolution onto a Blu-ray disk (BD-R/-RE discs of single side/single layer), and include a 10X zoom lens with a 2.7” LCD screen. The coolest part of course is that you can rid yourself of having to use a thousand different cords for transferring it once you’ve enjoyed being a cameraman or photographer, coz this one does it internally and saves you some sweat. The DZ-BD7H will be a hybrid with a 30 gig internal drive and record about four hours of 1920×1080 full high-definition video, and about eight hours of 1440×1080 HD. And as for the DZ-BD70, it can record one hour at 1920×1080 HD video and 1440×1080 HD video for two hours. Both will be endowed with a 5.3 megapixel progressive CMOS image sensor at 2.07 mega pixels for video and 4.32 mega pixels for still photos. However, don’t throw your loyal, old camcorder yet. It’s not until October that these would arrive in the US, and would of course hit Japan, much before, i.e, by the end of this month. So enjoy your pretty old baby till then. (NiRa)
