Hitachi 30GB Blu-Ray HDD/DVD High Definition Camcorder - $529.99

[RSS FEED]

When you watch your favorite program in HD, all you usually think about it is “wow, that’s a sharp picture.” Did you ever stop to consider the new strains on soap stars whose skin maybe isn’t so good, but who got away with thick makeup all these years?

Yeah, suddenly these ladies are subjected to a whole new degree of scrutiny, and it’s not really fair. They didn’t ask for this technological advance. They fought, season after season, to achieve and maintain an illusion of flawless glamor, only to have it demolished with a single hi-def broadcast.

There’s no stuffing this HD genie back into his bottle. But here’s what you can do to express your solidarity with the grandes dames of the small screen: You can subject yourself, your friends and your family to the same humiliatingly intimate inspection. Thanks to a newly developed CMOS image sensor, this Hitachi Blu-Ray HDD/DVD camcorder will put your every wrinkle, every nose hair, every clogged pore and yellowed tooth on display in horrifyingly detailed 1920×1080 video. See how you like it!
