Blu-ray Disc is the next standard for recordable media, and Hitachi's latest camcorders help you unleash its possibilities.
You only get one opportunity to capture life's precious moments, so why not record them with the highest possible visual quality? Hitachi's Blu-ray Disc camcorder both records and saves image data in the Full HD (1920 x 1080) format, on both the hard drive and on Blu-ray Discs. It captures 6 times the data of standard definition camcorders for greater detail and texture than you've ever seen before. Connect the camera to a Full HD TV and watch every detail of your movies come to life with incredible depth and image quality.
Just one 8cm (7.5GB) Blu-ray Disc has the capacity of five 8cm DVDs (1.4GB), allowing you to record and store up to an hour of Full HD video on a single disc. This gives you a huge advantage while recording and also saves you the trouble of having to switch discs as often while playing back your movies. You're always ready when the action stretches on for a little longer. It's just one of the ways Blu-ray can enhance your enjoyment of life.
There's no better way to archive and preserve your irreplaceable videos than on the next standard for digital media storage: the Blu-ray Disc. With five times the capacity of DVDs and a maximum 3x high-speed transfer rate, Blu-ray Disc has earned the support of over 170 companies worldwide. This revolutionary format is also compatible with an expanding line of players, recorders, and PCs, and is set to become the first choice for HD video enjoyment.
The DZ-BD10HA hybrid camcorder offers 3 formats to record full HD videos to. A newly developed 7 mega pixel CMOS image sensor captures rich and vibrant videos and stills in FullHD (1920 x 1080) High Definition. The new DZ-BD10HA can record up to 4hours 20 minutes of 1920x1080 video or 8 hours 40 minutes of 1440x1080 video onto the built-in 30 GB HDD. The built-in SDHC card slot provides additional flexibility by allowing for Full HD video and still recordings.
