Hitachi's new DZ-BD10H camcorder pairs Blu-ray with a 30GB HDD

We're not saying it can't be done, but you should have some considerable trouble managing to run out of room for your expertly-shot, highly-narrative vacation antics with Hitachi's new DZ-BD10H camcorder, which records 1080p HD video to Blu-ray discs or to its built-in 30GB hard drive. There's even an SD slot, which we aren't positive you can record video to, but it's a fair guess. Other specs include a 2.7-inch LCD and a 10x optical zoom. Price should be around $1,500 when it hits Japan on August 9, but no solid word on a US berth just yet.

I've been wondering when we'd see one of these. Its not a bad price considering all it does, containing a Blu-Ray recorder AND a Hard Disk Drive.

The picture look like it must be some sort of mini-Blu-Ray disc tho.

yeah it uses mini discs just like every other optical-media camcorder.

the harddrive seems kid of small though, considering the size of a blu-ray disc. i know these discs dont have the same capacity as a full sized disc but i would still that that the hard drive only has enough storage to match the capacity of 3 discs or so
