Source	Review Summary	Review Rating
	Title: Hitachi DZ-HS500 Preview - Camcorders Summary: Hitachi adds greater storage capacity to its hybrid hard-disk/DVD camcorder range, but only to a low-spec model.	N/A
	Title: Hitachi DZ-HS500 Pros: 30GB hard disk; one-touch video transfer to DVD Cons: Long start-up and mode switching times; soft video quality Verdict: The Hitachi DZ-HS500's performance is uninspired, but the hybrid storage function that allows you to edit footage on the 30GB hard and share it on 8cm DVDs is still impressive -- especially at this price. Summary: The Hitachi DZ-HS500 combines two different formats in one with hybrid technology. With DVD and hard drive choices, it sidesteps the problems of picking one storage method, making the camera more user-friendly. With plenty of space for top quality video,	62/100
	Title: Hitachi DZ-HS500 Pros: Hybrid recording, Good image quality, 30x optical zoom Cons: A little chunky Verdict: A great digital video camera from Hitachi, the HS500SW combines two recording formats for added convenience and offers great quality video footage to boot.	80/100
	Title: Hitachi DZ-HS500 Pros: Comfortable in use, Great concept, Good spread of features Cons: Flawed picture performance Verdict: There's loads and loads to recommend here but needs to beef up the image clarity to be a real contender Summary: In the land of digital video, the consumer is king. Even so, consumers can feel slightly overwhelmed by the choice of digital video now available. Hence Hitachi's new idea. Why choose, it argues, when one camcorder can give you both?	80/100
	Title: Hitachi DZ-HS500SW - Gadget Guy Australia Pros: Well priced hybrid camcorder. Extended recording capacity. Dubbing from analog VCRs. Cons: Small still image capability. No external microphone input. Verdict: Tons of features are packed in to the Hitachi. The quality captured by this equipment is so close to Mini DV that few will notice the difference Summary: This lower-priced camcorder follows Hitachi's two launch models, offering highly desirable dual recording modes: direct to an internal 30 GB hard drive or an 8 cm mini DVD burner	N/A
	Title: Hitachi DZ-HS500 Pros: Comfortable in use, Great concept, Good spread of features Cons: Flawed picture performance Verdict: And, the small array of buttons - which actually look after some important features - behind the LCD screen would really benefit from being more user-friendly. The buttons themselves are adequately large but they're simply not responsive enough Summary: The HS500 looks good in its atypical colour scheme	80/100
