The Hitachi DZ-HS303E, DZ-HS301E shoots, edits, and saves. There is no more worries to choose between hard disk and DVD when Hitachi's movie makers will do both. This is the first model that has DVD editing capabilities in the camcorder. It is also the first hard disk and shiny-disc toting all-in-one. Combining the massive storage potential of DVD and the simple editing advantage of HDD, it's created the DZ-HS303E and DZ-HS301E model. Nestled into the oversize DVD door of each model is 8GB of storage, good for 110 minutes of high quality footage. Fill it up and you can quickly edit it before committing it to mini DVD for easy viewing. No computer needed. The 301 boasts a 1.3MP sensor while the pricier 303 gets a larger 3.3MP.
