This little camcorder, revealed at the Japan-only CEATEC, records directly to itty bitty Blu-Ray discs, and looks like a Gundam shoulder mounted cannon. This reminds us of the low-end Samsung mini dvd-camcorder we wrote about a few weeks ago. Except that one was cheap and terrible, and this one will never see a Best Buy store shelf, and is completely awesome.

With all the flash camcorders out there, I would never buy a camcorder that records to discs. You?

Disc camcorder for you?
Maybe if it's Blu-ray
Yes. Straight from camcorder to DVD player sounds good.
Screw that. Discs'll be dead in 5 years.
