Product Information
The DZ-BD70A is a single drive camcorder that can record approximately one hour of FullHD 1920 x 1080 high definition video on an 8cm single-sided Blu-ray disc. Lifelike image reproduction and rich, immersive color are a result of Hitachi's 5.3 mega pixel CMOS image sensor and HD quality 12-element lens system. Not only can the DZ-BD70A record high definition video to Blu-ray discs, it also comes with an SD card slot for storing digital still photos at 4.32 mega pixel max resolution. A unique Hitachi feature called photo capture allows users to search though recordings on a Blu-ray disc, grab any still frame of video and save it as a photo to the SD card slot in 2.1 mega pixel resolution. For even more recording flexibility the DZ-BD70A also allows video to be recorded in standard definition quality to DVD discs.

Hitachi DZ BD70A Camcorder

I have not tested it yet because as of writing this review, I am still grappling with the awesomeness of the product. From the looks of it this camcorder is in excellent condition and I can't wait to use it and explore the possibilities of the uses of this camcorder. This is far better than what I have, and it is far better than I anticipated. The features are excellent.
