Hitachi launched first hybrid camcorders

Precious moments never looked so good on video as Hitachi Sales (Malaysia) Sdn Berhad, the marketing arm of Hitachi consumer electrical products launches its  two hybrid camcorders– the first of its kind in the world – along with its new range of DVD Camcorders.

“As the worldwide leader and pioneer of DVD camcorders, Hitachi is making a definitive mark in the evolution of camcorders,” said Hidenori Zen, Managing Director, Hitachi Sales Malaysia. 

“Hitachi is the only company in the world with the digital legacy to deliver state-of-the-art audio-visual technology that enables video recording up to six hours”.
With the introduction of the new hybrid and DVD camcorders, Hitachi expects to capture 10% of the audio-visual market segment,” added Zen.

World’s First Hybrid Camcorder

The two new camcorders combines both DVD and HDD integrated 8GB hard disk drive, that can  record up to six hours worth of footage so you can be rest assured those unforgettable moments with your loved ones will never be missed out.

Developed by Hitachi Global Storage Technology, the 8 GB HDD with an impact damper protector ensures high reliability.

The one button dubbing feature makes it easy to copy to any DVD directly from the HDD Camcorder without the need for a computer or any other device saving you loads of time so you can go on recording away without any hassle. It also allows you to travel light during vacations as you do not need to lug around your laptop just so you need to copy your footages. Seamless recording at your fingertips.

Higher picture quality

If you’re tired of viewing blurry images of your wedding video or your vacations then the processing large scale integration (LSI) would be a prefect solution that ensures high resolution with natural colour reproduction enabling conversion to MPEG2.

With an optical zoom process, images remain vivid and of high quality up to 30 times zoom and 1,500 times high magnification zoom.

Shaky images are kept at a minimum with the electronic image stabilisation function that stabilizes the recorded image by varying the optical path to the sensor which allows better picture quality.

Video to Photo Capture 

This new range of camcorders allows users to select any frame from movies and turn it into still digital photos. Users can simply save the photo to a secure digital (SD) card, as well as print or share it with friends and family.

Extra Sensory Protection

The new camcorders are equipped with extra sensory protection to prevent damage to the HDD.
