Hitachi DZ-HS503 DVD / HDD camcorder

Hitachi has come out with another addition after the Hitach DZ-HS303 and DZ-HS301 versions of their HDD camcorders. The Hitach DZ-HS503 camcorder will come with a 30 GB hard disk and provision for recording on to 8 centimeter DVDs. These will obviously include DVD-RAMs to DVD-RW.
The other specifications of the DZ-HS503 camcorder is the 2.8 megapixel CCD, 10x optical zoom, and a 2.7 inch TFT LCD screen. There is a provision for an extra SD card slot if you want to store medium quality photos.
The Hitachi DZ-HS503 DVD / HDD camcorder will cost close to $1,100 which is a bit over priced but worth it in our opinions.

Hitachi BD70E and BD7HE Bluray Camcorders

The Hitachi BD70E and BD7HE are the latest Blu-ray camcorders announced by Hitachi. The Blu-ray camcorders feature a 5.3 megapixel CMOS sensor with 1920 x 1080 Full HD recording capabilties. The recorded bit will be done on 8cm blu-ray discs which are pretty costly to say the least. Normal DVD discs can also be used if you dont want to use Blu-ray media.
The camcorders record media in MPEG-4/H.264 compression type. In standard quality mode 2 hours can be recorded on the BD70E while 8 hours can be done on the BD7HE.
