First Blu-ray Disc Camcorders launched by Hitachi in Japan
Hitachi has announced the launch of the world’s first Blu-ray Disc (BD) camcorders in Japan.
The DZ-BD7H and DZ-BD70 camcorders from Hitachi are capable of recording one hour of 1920×1080 Full High-Definition video onto a BD.
The DZ-BD7H features a BD drive and a 30 gigabyte (GB) built-in hard disc drive (HDD) that records around four hours of 1920×1080 full high-definition video, or up to eight hours of 1440×1080 high-definition video.
The other camcorder launched by Hitachi is the DZ-BD70, a BD single drive camcorder. Like the DZ-BD7H, the DZ-BD70 can also record around one hour of 1920×1080 full high-definition video (two hours of 1440×1080 high definition video) on a 8cm BD.
The new Blu-Ray Disc camcorders can also capture still images with 4.3 mega pixel progressive CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor. The camcorders come along with the world’s first 8cm BD drive, which can store 5 times more capacity than an 8cm DVD.
The DZ-BD7H and the DZ-BD70 will be available in the Japanese market from August 30th.
