Hitachi DZ-BD70E review

The format war is over and with Blu-ray victorious, the Hitachi DZ-BD70E attempts to claim the spoils as the first Blu-ray camcorder on the market. Recording 'Full HD' footage on to Blu-ray discs, this shooter also provides plenty of features, plus an interactive guide for use Read more

Hitachi DZ-HS500 review

The Hitachi DZ-HS500 combines two different formats in one with hybrid technology.

Hitachi DZ-HS300E review

Hitachi's DZ-HS300E is a budget hybrid HDD/DVD-based camcorder, ideal if you want the stability of hard drive recording with the easy playback and distribution of a DVD. It's not a bad performer, but the image quality is far from perfect Read more

Hitachi DZ-BX35E review

Like most low-end camcorders, the Hitachi DZ-BX35E, which includes a 25x optical zoom lens and sub-megapixel CCD, isn't loaded with fancy features, but it's intuitive to use and ergonomically sound. Its image quality isn't the best in its class, though, and you can get a better Hitachi for not much more money Read more

Hitachi DZ-GX3200E review

The DZ-3200E offers only two megapixels, compared to its big brother DZ-3300E's three, but with its video almost as pleasing and at £100 less, this could be the budget choice for those looking for a compact DVD camcorder with 10x optical zoom Read more

Hitachi DZ-GX3300E review

Hitachi's DZ-GX3300E won't blow you away with its middle-of-the-road image quality, but a quick start-up time and the ability to edit video in the camera might appeal. Similarly, the camera's 10x optical zoom, 3-megapixel CCD and fairly standard feature set will neither wow nor disappoint Read more

DVD camcorders

VHS is dead, long live the DVD. If you loved the convenience of your old VHS camcorder, then you'll find these new DVD-based ones equally appealing. All these camcorders record straight to a half-sized DVD, burning footage in real-time. Once you're done recording, pop the disc out and place in it your home DVD player and you can watch the footage back in glorious colour Read more

Hitachi DZ-MV750E review

The Hitachi DZ-MV750E offers a compact, easy-to-use, lightweight design, several formats of DVD and a hefty 16x zoom, but the useless 25-minute battery life and poor quality video and still pictures make it very difficult to recommend, even at this price Read more

Hitachi DZ-GX20E review

Hitachi's DZ-GX20E offers speedy start-up, solid video quality in a variety of lighting conditions and the ability to edit video in-camera. With a 10x optical zoom, a 2-megapixel CCD, a basic set of features and decent overall performance, it's not a standout. But it's worth considering if you want the convenience of DVD recording at a reasonable price Read more
