Hitachi’s DZ-BD9H hybrid camcorder has hopped on the Blu-ray bandwagon after HD DVD’s (seemingly) death knell earlier that month. Should you actually run out of space on the 60GB hard drive while recording your own home movie, there is always the option to store an additional hour of full HD footage on an 8cm Blu-ray disc. Other features include :-

• 2.7″ LCD display
• 10x optical
  zoom
• 5.3 megapixel CMOS sensor

The Japanese will get that in February for $1,691, while those who want to opt for the HDD-only version will have to wait till March, albeit dropping less coin at $1,315. It ought to reach Stateside sometime later that year though.
