Hitachi has released the world's first Blu-ray Disc camcorder, the DZ-BD7HA. This is Hitachi's flagship consumer camcorder and is actually a hybrid that also sports a 30-gig hard drive. Hybrid camcorders give you the best of both worlds, allowing you to shoot a long time onto the hard drive, and then, with random access capability, burn your best takes onto removable media, in this case 8cm Blu-ray Discs for archiving and storage. So what does the addition of Blu-ray Disc bring to the table?
This model is aimed at the high end of home video hobbyists. You likely won't be making any feature films with the BD7HA - it's designed for those wanting to shoot birthday parties, kids' soccer games and other personal video. So, with that in mind, we took the BD7HA out into the field and put it through its paces.
