Looking for a Blu-ray camcorder? Hitachi has a hybrid now, the DZ-BD10HA which will do the trick for you. Its 7 megapixel CMOS image sensor will get you both photos and videos in FullHD quality.

You get a built-in 30GB HDD upgreadable via a SDHC card slot for even more videos and pictures. You get to record up to 4 hours and 20 minutes video in 1920×1080 resolution or 8 hours and 40 minutes of 1440×1080 video on the initial 30GB.

With a single button push you will be able to transfer video from the HDD or SDHC slot to the 8cm BD drive, without needing a computer hooked to the camcorder.
