    What’s in the Box?
    The Hitachi DZ-BD7HA (Review, Specs, $595.00) ships with the following items:

    -DZ-BP14S Battery Pack
    -DZ-ACS3 AC Adapter/Charger
    -DC Power Cord -DZ-RM4W Remote Control
    -CR2032 Lithium Battery
    -Power Cable
    -AV/S Cable
    -Component Cable
    -Software CD-ROM (Pixela Image Mixer 3 HD Edition)
    -USB Cable
    -Disc Cleaning Cloth
    -8 cm BD-RE Single Sided Disc

    The only items worth purchasing after you first unsheathe the DZ-BD7HA are an HDMI cable and a couple backup batteries. Other than that, Hitachi paves the way right out of the box.

    Other Features (2.0)
    Backlight Compensation (BLC)- When a subject is underexposed within a bright background, Backlight Compensation adjusts the overall exposure so the subject is brought into more even light.

    Quick Start- Much like Canon’s Quick Start, Hitachi’s version powers the camcorder on with all saved settings in approximately one second from Standby mode.

    Dubbing - The Hitachi DZ-BD7HA is able to transfer video from the HDD onto a blank DVD, entirely within the camcorder.
