From the Manufacturer
Hitachi invented the first DVD camcorder in 1999. The basic draw of Hitachi DVD camcorders is theif ability to record video directly to a DVD disc (8 centimeters in size) and play that disc back on home DVD players. Not only is this method of storing memories onto DVD easy to playback, it also ensures the quality of the digital recording will remain for years to come.
Six Generations of DVD Camcorder
The DZGX3300 has multiple advantages over previous generation models. 3.3-megapixel resolution creates realistic detailed photos at a maximum resolution of 2016 x 1512. Four format choices insure compatibility for all the major DVD types: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM. In addition, Hitachi DVD camcorders also support SD cards for storing digital still images. The new Video-to-Photo Frame Grab tool allows users to record video onto DVD discs, then choose individual frames to route to the SD card as still photos. The Sleep/Restart feature allows users to put the camcorder into a "hibernate" mode to save battery power, yet with the push of the restart button recording can start again in less than one second.
You can also record video in either the 4:3 standard aspect ratio or in 16:9 widescreen ratio to ensure full-frame playback on high-definition TVs.
CinemaRes Advanced Image Processing
A Hitachi-exclusive video processing examines each incoming frame and applies color correction, noise reduction, and sharpness enhancement. The result is a stunningly detailed image.

The DZGX3200 takes image processing to the next level with a technique called OverSampling. This exclusive technology uses the entire CCD to capture both video and still images before converting to DVD format, using the camcorder's entire capacity to create a sharper, more detailed picture.
The DVD video format is 720 x 480 resolution. When capturing video, the DZGX3300 actually captures more than triple the amount of resolution needed for DVD. This creates remarkably lifelike movies.
The 3.3-megapixel CCD also produces digital still photos in high quality 2016 x 1512 resolution.
Four Formats of DVD and SD Card Recording Capability
Hitachi DVD camcorders offer industry-leading options for media choices. All models can record and play back a wide range of disc and memory formats.

Having a wider selection of disc choices means that any disc found in stock at a retail location can be used, matching the format to a specific DVD player for playback is easy, and future compatibility is ensured.

Video-to-Photo Frame Grab Tool
In addition to taking high-quality digital still photos, Hitachi DVD camcorders can also convert any video frame to a still photo image. Simply navigate to a prerecorded frame of video and "grab" it as a still picture, then easily copy it onto a SD photo memory card.
Never miss a chance to catch that perfect point of action for a photo, whether it's the point of contact of bat on ball at the baseball game or the big jump on the ski slopes.
Sleep/Restart Battery Saver
Never miss a moment with Hitachi's instant on Sleep/Restart button. The Sleep/Restart button will allow you to conserve power while waiting for that special moment. It allows the DVD camcorder to be set to standby (to conserve battery power) and to be reactivated with a single push of a button. On restart, it takes less than one second to begin recording.
Easy Disc Navigation Recording to DVD allows for instant and easy access to video scenes and still photos. You'll never have to fast forward or rewind looking for a scene--Hitachi camcorders create a visual scene index for easy access to your recorder footage. Just highlight the scene you recorded and press play for instant playback. In-camcorder menu tools also allow you to create custom playlists, as well as cut/combine/trim scenes when using the DVD-RAM format.
Enhanced Connectivity
Input: Hitachi DVD camcorders can record incoming video from VCRs or other tape sources. Recording this older footage to DVD will ensure quality will not continue to degrade over time.
Playback: There are also many playback options available. Play DVD discs directly in DVD players, connect the camcorder to a TV using the supplied AV cables or download to computer with high-speed USB 2.0 connection.

PC and Mac Video Editing Software
After transferring photos or video from the camcorder to a PC or Mac using USB 2.0, use the supplied software to edit and burn DVDs. DVD authoring can be used to burn DVDs back on the camcorder or on the computer's full-size DVD drive.
One-Touch Finalize Feature
Before playing DVD discs created on a DVD camcorder on home DVD players, you must first finalize the disc. Finalizing closes the disc session, which means the content on the disc cannot be deleted or erased. Hitachi's One-Touch Finalize button makes this critical last step as easy as the push of a button.
Product Description
Digital picture quality is largely dependent upon the number of pixels used to capture an image. Like a digital still camera, the CCD pixel count is essential for creating a vibrant life-like picture. Hitachi's exclusive oversampling technology uses up to six times the pixels of conventional DVD camcorders to capture more detail and resolution than ever possible before. These CCD chips produce images of an even greater resolution than DVD requires, and the resulting video quality gives movies unmatched dimension and clarity. Hitachi oversampling technology captures significantly more image information, which gives the advanced processor more data for optimal picture performance. The breakthrough DZGX3300A is able to record images that are six times the number of pixels required for DVD. The processor can then reference six pixels for every one it creates for the final image. The result is more crisp and sharp life-like images for both captured video and still images.
