Media manufacturers are really throwing their support behind Hitachi's new Blu-ray Disc camcorders. I wonder if we'll see this stuff in the US.

Maxell - http://www.maxell.co.jp/jpn/news/2007/news070802.html

Neither company has revealed pricing.. which means its probably expensive. :-?

These discs are a joint effort between Hitachi Maxell and Mitsubishi/Verbatim, so either one claiming to be first would be accurate :wink:

Imation Introduces 'TDK Life on Record' Brand
