Maxell has announced that it is now shipping 8cm BD-R write-once and BD-RE rewritable discs. These discs are specifically designed for Blu-ray HD camcorders like the Hitachi DZ-BD70 and DZ-BD7H. Each disc will hold approximately one hour of HD footage.

Retail prices for the discs are set at $24.99 for the single-sided, write-once BD-R discs and $34.99 for the rewritable BD-RE discs. Those prices are per disc people, so make sure you budget that in when buying these camcorders.
