I am unsure, but I think I read elsewhere the bluray Hitachi is a couple of years away, but this article does not mention that and has other information. Can anybody confirm?

"I hope it is one year," said Kazuto Shimagami, senior manager in the company's storage products division.

Thanks for that Paulo. I found it again at that camcorderinfo site.

Hitachi wants to incorporate a Blu-ray burner that would use 8-centimeter disks, the two executives said. Those drives and the disks that would go in them do not exist yet; the companies involved in Blu-ray are currently fleshing out the specifications for an 8-centimeter Blu-ray drive.

What will be about the prize of the new Panasonic AVCHD ?

It also seems to have a 13 MBits/sec mode.
Does it also do 24p ?
Also 50i ?

Also 720p ?

What is the exact model type number ?

2. Is there already any news about these Hitachi HD camcorders ?
They look pretty nice and small, maybe something better than the Sanyo
XActi HD1 ?
Are these also AVCHD camcorders ?
Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.
