Hitachi Blu-ray camcorder

Hitachi’s got a winner here with its new invention and the world’s first too! Introducing Hitachi’s Blu-Ray disc camcorder (DZ-BD7H) and (DZ-BD7D). Hitachi has brought two variants; one records straight to a 7cm Blu-Ray disc with 7.5 GB capacity and the other is a hybrid. Records both on a Blu-ray disc as well as a 30GB HDD. Check out some the key features, as in why these camcorders are one of the advanced models in the market.


First of all it records in full HD at a resolution of 1920 x1080. It captures 6 times the data of standard definition camcorders for greater detail and texture. Connect the camera to a Full HD TV and watch every detail of your movies come to life with incredible depth and image quality.

The difference is clear. Check out the comparison of Blu-Ray and current camcorder quality above. Well that’s not all, Hitachi has cramped in some great featurs to ensure you get true to life footage and pictures like never before. Here’s the list…

  • Adaptive Dynamic Noise Reduction : this technology analyses and encodes the video while reducing the noise.
  • Advanced Correlative Coefficient Multiplication method: this helps reduce the false colours, instead produces clear and natural colour images.
  • H.264 codec technology: keeps the degradation to the bare minimum while conversion.
  • 5.3 megapixel CMOS: that is 2.07MP effective for video and 4.3MP effective for still pictures.
  • High definition lens: the specially developed multi coated lens reduces ghosting and flares

Not sure of the pricing yet, but I’m sure its gonna be worth it. With Hitachi leading the race, we can expect more Blu-Ray camcorders to hit the market in the coming years. Watch this space for more updates.
