Hitachi is set to enter the high end of the camcorder market with two world first Blu-ray models. Not available in Australia until November, the camcorder is set to retail at over $2,000 for the high end model and while Hitachi Australia have not set a price for Australian models, a good indicator of what the price may be is the US high end model which is set to retail for $1499.00 (A$1799).
