Another reason to buy a 3D TV? Panasonic today introduced its 3D camcorder for the consumer market! Now you can film those birthdays, baby’s first walk and weddings, all in 3-D.

The camcorder HDC-SDT750 has the ability to shoot 3-D video without any need for post processing of the video. The Panasonic HDC-SDT750 is fitted with a lens that provides a 12-fold optical magnification for amplified light. To record a three-dimensional video an additional lens VW-CLT1 is needed which comes with the package. The camera supports 5.1-channel audio and video capture in a format 1080/60p or 1080/60i.

In order to shoot 3D video a user must install the 3D conversion lens which comes with the bundle and then record two distinct images, one for the left eye and another in the right eye. This side by side technology that is used here and the resolution of each image will be 960×1080 pixels.
