It's time for a new kind of camcorder
Shoot for hours. Edit in minutes. Share in seconds.
The original inventor and champion pioneer of the DVD camcorder, Hitachi is now the first to launch two Hybrid DVD/HDD Camcorders - an entirely new category of camcorder device that allows users to shoot longer and share faster. Combining the convenience of the DVD format - for easy sharing and archiving - with the capacity of an 8 GB (gigabyte) Hard Disk Drive (HDD), the revolutionary design simplifies and speeds up the home movie making process. Users can now shoot more footage, select required scenes stored on the HDD and burn DVDs to share with friends and family all from the camcorder - without any additional DVD burning hardware or PC connection.
Integrated 8 GB HDD
Our Hybrid Camcorders use Hitachis own 8 GB hard disk drives to deliver outstanding recording times and unbeatable reliability. As one of the leaders in hard drive technology, Hitachi has squeezed all this into a drive just one inch across. Simply, this means you get the capacity you need without the bulk you dont.
Photo capture from DVD
Why do people always blink in photographs? Fortunately thats now history with our Hybrid Camcorders. You can now select any frame from your movies and turn it into a still digital photograph. Simply save the photo to an SD card and then print or share by email.
True 16:9 widescreen
Not only do Hybrid Camcorders record in true 16:9 widescreen, their own on-board 2.7" widescreen LCD screen is true 16:9 too. It means that what you see is exactly what youll get, no cropping, no compromise.
Easy dubbing
Hybrid Camcorders make creating the DVDs you want simple. Our one touch easy dubbing feature means you can quickly burn entire movies saved on the HDD to DVD. Just press the button and the camcorder will do the rest. Alternatively you can create your own directors cut by selecting scenes with the thumbnail interface. Its as easy as that.

Advanced drop-proofing
Accidents happen. That's why hybrid camcorders have their own (ESP) extra sensory protection drop proofing system to protect the HDD. Their Zero G sensors automatically detect falls of 10 cm or more, suspending read-write activity and cushioning the hard drive for impact. The result is data loss reduced by up to 50%.
Multiformat+ compatibility
Whatever the DVD format, the Hybrid Camcorders probably burn it. The Multiformat+ drive will burn DVD-R, DVDRAM, DVD-RW and DVD+RW. So not only will DVDs play on your home DVD player, they are also compatible with your friends and familys players too.
