SSD (Secured Storage Data) is thought to be the next best thing in hard drive technology for mobile computers. Even though it’s tougher, it doesn’t reach its market appeal yet. Highly expensive and relatively slow, SSD is still on its baby-phase: It might be years before we could see a 320GB SSD that will not cost us more than a thousand dollars.

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.
