Panasonic Releases World’s First 3D Consumer Camcorder
Electronics giant Panasonic wasted no time in getting on the 3D bandwagon with the release of the HDC-SDT750. It is touted as the world’s first 3D consumer camcorder. However to fully enjoy the benefits if 3D you will need to have a compatible 3D HDTV, 3D glasses and HDMI ver 1.4 cables.
The Panasonic HDC-SDT750 is actually a 700 series model with a “3D conversion lens” attached to the front. Nevertheless, this up-scaled 3D camcorder comes with the highly sensitive 3MOS system and the renowned Leica Dicomar Lens that produces top quality videos even in low light conditions. With the large 3D lens attached you get true-to-life 3D video content. When the 3D lens is detached you get a fully functional 2D camcorder that captures full HD 1080/60p video.
Features wise the SDT750 is almost identical to the 700 series camcorders with a few improvements like the HYBRID O.I.S image stabilization and an improved noise-reduction algorithm for better quality clips in low light. The useful manual control ring is retained, so is the Intelligent Auto (iA) mode that makes the Panasonic camcorders extremely easy to master. The manual ring provides convenient, fingertip control of the focus, zoom, exposure, shutter speed and white balance settings.
The SDT750 will be released sometime in October 2010 at a list price of $1399.95. You can read the full Panasonic HDC-SDT750 review here as soon as it is released.
