GadgetMadness: We find the coolest gadgets first

Celebrities are a little scared by high definition. Apparently the beautiful people have tiny imperfections here and there, and they're afraid you'll see everything in HD. Hitachi has released a 5.3 Mega Pixel CMOS BluRay/DVD hybrid camcorder with a 30GB hard drive that shoots video at 1920 x 1080 and shoots stills at 2400x1800 resolution. You can fit up to four hours at full video resolution, or eight hours at 1440x1080. With a touch of a button you can transfer your videos to BluRay disc or DVD, clear the drive, and start shooting video all over again. Sports 10X optical zoom allows for decent close-ups - all in all the Hitachi BD7HA has the latest features we're looking for in a high-def camcorder.

So if Britney is afraid of being seen in HD, how frightening will your Aunt Edna's wrinkles be? Priced at $1499 and on sale now.
