Hitachi
Blu-ray Camcorder
In October 2007, Hitachi will unleash two new camcorders: the
DZ-BD70 and the DZ-BD7H. Both are Blu-ray, but the later is a
hybrid that combines Blu-ray Disc/DVD with a hard disk drive (HDD).
The lens is high definition and eliminates ghosting and flaring to
improve image quality. Hitachi has ensured that the entire cameras
recording components (lens, image sensor and processing engine)
work in unison to support full 1920 x 1080 HD video. Other onboard
goodies include ADNR noise reduction technology; ACCMM, which
diminishes false colors to produce clear and natural-colored
images; and MPEG4 AVC/H.264 Codec Technology to minimize
degradation during compression and keep the 1920 x 1080. The 5.3
Megapixel CMOS Sensor ensures 2.07-megapixel videos (16:9) and
4.32-megapixel pics (4:3). The HDDs capacity is 30GB, the optical
zoom is 10x, and the LCD is a 2.7 widescreen.
Wow! I want one!
