Hybrid technology isn't just for your car anymore. Hitachi presents the world's first hybrid digital camcorder the DZ-HS300A. You have your choice between an 8GB hard drive that can shoot up to 6 hours of video, single layer DVD media for up to 1 hour per side and SD memory cards for still photos.
With one touch easy dubbing, transferring the images from the hard drive to a DVD is fast and easy. You can also create a "Director's Cut" by selecting the scenes you want to transfer. Just select an individual frame from the video and transfer it to the SD card as a still picture.
Accidents happen: that's why there is a drop sensor built into the camera that will suspend read/write activity and cushion the drive for impact.

HDD and DVD HybridThe revolutionary Hitachi DZ-HS300A combines the convenience of the DVD format for easy sharing and archiving with the flexible capacity of an internal Hard Disk Drive (HDD), simplifying and speeding up the home-moviemaking process. The internal hard drive's 8GB storage capacity stores up to 6 hours of video.
Advanced Drop-proofingThe hybrid DZ-HS300A camcorder features an extra sensory protection (ESP) drop-proofing system to protect the HDD. The Zero G sensor automatically detects falls, suspending read/write activity and cushioning the hard drive for impact.
Multi-format CompatibilityThe Multiformat+ drive records DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. With the Hitachi DZ-HS300A's broad compatibility, record on whatever disc that works best in your DVD player or recorder. Plus SD cards can be used to store digital still photos.
Easy DubbingWith the 1-touch easy dubbing feature, quickly burn movies saved on the HDD to DVDs at the press of a button, or create your own director's cut by selecting from one of the highlight scenes.
Cinema Res Image ProcessingThe Hitachi DZ-HS300A features Cinema Res image processing for extra detailed and accurate videos and pictures. By reducing noise and increasing sharpness, your home movies look better than ever.
True 16:9 WidescreenThe Hitachi DZ-HS300A camcorder supports recording in a 16:9 aspect ratio that matches the true 16:9 widescreen format of HDTV's. With an onboard 2.7" true 16:9 widescreen LCD screen, you will get exactly what you see without any cropping or compromise.
