Panasonic's New Camcorder Allows 3D Recording for Amateur Home Videographers

Panasonic Corporation has unveiled the world's first 3D camcorder for consumers.

The HDC-SDT750 camcorder allows anyone to create powerful, true-to-life 3D images by simply attaching a 3D conversion lens that comes with the camcorder. Even without the 3D conversion lens, the camcorder offers many ways to take home video recording to a new level with a wide range of features. The camcorder will go on sale in Japan on August 20th, to be followed in other countries in autumn of this year.　

Incorporating Panasonic's broadcast technology, the 3MOS System SDT750 camcorder lets users create their own 3D movies, something that previously only professional image producers had been able to do. Combined with a VIERA 3DTV and Blu-ray Disc player/recorder, the SDT750 camcorder makes it possible to save memories of friends and family in 3D, thereby further expanding the world of 3D enjoyment at home.

Recording in 1,080/60p for NTSC or 1,080/50p for PAL5, the SDT750 camcorder produces richly expressive images, with none of the detail loss and flickering of the conventional 1,080i (interlace) recording. In addition, the iA function, which was highly popular on previous models, makes it easy for anyone to take beautiful videos. The SDT750 camcorder also newly incorporates the HYBRID O.I.S. system5 to bring clear, beautiful HD image quality to telephoto shots as well.
