Although it was rumored three years ago that Sony would be the first consumer electronics vendor to make a Blu-ray Disc camcorder, Hitachi won the race this week when it unveiled two models. Both units, the DZ-BD70A and the DZ-BD7HA, record about an hour’s worth of 1920×1080 high definition video on 8 cm Blu-ray discs. However, the “flagship” DZ-BD7HA is a hybrid model that includes a hard-drive capable of saving about four hours of 1920×1080 video or up to eight hours of 1440×1080 content, said Hitachi.
