Hitachi DZBD10HA 30GB Hybrid HDD/Blu-Ray/DVD Camcorder

The DZ-BD10HA hybrid camcorder offers 3 formats to record Full HD videos to. A newly developed 7-megapixel CMOS image sensor captures rich and vibrant videos and stills in Full HD (1920 x 1080) High Definition. The built-in SDHC card slot provides additional flexibility by allowing for Full HD video and still recordings.The new DZ-BD10HA also offers a dubbing function that allows Full HD video to be transferred with the single push of a button from either the HDD or SDHC card to the BD drive, all within the camcorder, without having to connect to a PC. Editing functions such as split, splice, delete, merge, and transitions can also be performed within the camcorder before dubbing for additional functionality. The transcoding feature allows for the camcorder to transfer Full HD videos off the HDD or SDHC card to standard definition DVD discs for the sharing of videos with friends and family who may not own a Blu-ray player yet.Another new feature added to camcorder is face detection, which automatically detects and focuses on faces to provide the most true to life color accuracy and clarity. Additionally, Hitachi has developed a compact, low power consumption, quiet and highly reliable 8cm BD/DVD drive, which results in a 20% reduction in overall volume.
