Hitachi Hybrid Camcorder (DZ-HS300A)

MiniDVD/HDD: With the Hitachi ® Hybrid, you choose your format. This
is the first camcorder that allows you to record to the hard drive for
longer shooting, or record to a DVD and see it right away on any DVD
player.

Zoom: The 25x optical zoom delivers close-ups with amazing clarity.
Enlarge details before or after shooting with the 1200x digital zoom.

2.7" LCD: Get a clear picture of the action during recording and
playback with the large 2.7 " LCD panel.

Store it: With its completely unlimited storage capacity, the Hitachi
Hybrid camcorder never runs out of room. The 8GB hard drive gives you
the ability to record three hours in the highest-quality format, or
just record straight to DVD.

Share it: The Hitachi Hybrid allows you to select scenes in-camera,
without ever touching a PC. And, with fast and easy 1-touch dubbing,
you can burn as many DVD copies in-camera as you want to share.

CinemaRes advanced image processing: This exclusive technology uses the
entire CCD to capture video to create a sharper, more detailed picture.

Video-to-photo frame grab: Capture still images without interrupting
your recording. Simply pull a still frame from your video and save it
to the SD memory card.

Computer compatibility: Transfer images to your computer in a flash
with the built-in high speed USB 2.0 connection.
