Hitachi’s Blu-ray DZ-BD7HA Reviewed

Blu-ray sprang up out of the ground without any warning and before anyone knew what it was it suddenly became popular and a must have for anyone who loves to get the best viewing experience from their televisions. So when we heard that Hitachi had taken it to new levels by creating the DZ-BD7HA – the world’s first Blu-ray camcorder – we assumed that everyone would be excited and ready to get their hands on it.

The new camcorder costs a hefty amount – $1600 – to be exact. With that in mind we all want to make sure that it is worth the money. The DZ BD7HA is built with a good sized lens that has the ability to focus in a 5-50mm length and has an aperture range of f/1.8-f/3.0. The flash is built into the left lens and only goes off when the sensor is triggered. This is a flaw because if you were to try to attach a different lens to it than the flash would not go off.

The DZ-BD7HA was built with a mic jack, stereo microphone, 2.7” LCD screen, and a USB and HDMI port. Unfortunately the camcorder is full of many different buttons and features that they will miss the important ones. Another problem that people might have is the task of switching to the different modes (on, off, photo) because they are so close together.

We admit that the new DZ-BD7HA has a nice look to it and when it comes to taking pictures and videos it does an excellent job. Unfortunately it is not something that people can just pick up and know automatically how to use it. For the price that is given to it we would expect it to be more user-friendly. Now that Hitachi has broken the ice we can expect to see more and more companies breaking out with Blu-ray camcorders . One of them will be the one that everyone will love.
