Sept 6, 2010 – Panasonic has a new consumer camcorder coming out in October that shoots 1080p HD video in 3D. The camcorder uses a 3D conversion lens attached to their 700 series 3MOS system. The 3D video is shot using the same principle as human vision. Left and right eye images are simultaneously shot with two lenses and the 3D images artificially create visual disparity. The brain uses visual disparity to perceive spatial depth and the appearance of solidity. This visual disparity is artificially produced for 3D images so that the brain will interpret it as depth and solid-appearing objects.
To experience the 3D effect, you will need to play the video on a 3D capable TV such as Panasonic’s VIERA 3DTV or on a player/recorder such as Panasonic’s Blu-ray Disc player/recorder.
The camcorder features an impressive line of features that are perfect for standard HD recording in addition to it’s 3D capabilities. You can get more information about the HDC-SDT750 on Panasonic’s website and will be available at B&H Photo for $1399.95.
