The Hitachi DZ-H303 already was announced in Japan a month ago. It looks like Hitachi is bringing the DZ-HS301 also to Europe soon and eventually to the United States. The Hitachi DZ-HS301 features a 15x optical zoom, 1MP still photos and a 2.7 widescreen LCD. The Hitachi DZ-HS303 sports a better CCD sensor and takes 3.1MP stills.
Hitachi has recently announced their new line of camcorders and this time they have gone for something very innovative and potentially the future of camcorders. These camcorders come with DVD support as well as a ‘Hard disk’. This is one of the first time we are seeing a HDD in a camcorder. The other advantage when it comes to this range ofcamcorders from Hitachi is the long battery life.
The Hitachi DZ-HS301 and DZ-HS303 come with a 2.8 inch screen display for you to get a nice picture of what you are actually saving. The camcorder comes with a pretty big 8GB hard disk which can store over 100 minutes of the highest quality videos. In addition to this memory capacity, you can add a DVD ±RW or DVD-RAM too.
The Hitachi DZ-HS301 has a 1.3 mega pixel CCD with a 15x optical and 800x digital zoom. On the other hand the Hitachi DZ-HS303 comes with a 3.3 mega pixel CCD with 10x optical zoom and 500x digital zoom.
