Panasonic Wednesday announced a wide array of 3D-based products, including the world's first 3D consumer camcorder, an interchangeable 3D lens for its Lumix cameras, and 3D Blu-ray Disc players.
The camcorder, the HDC-SDT750, sports a 3D conversion lens that can record separate right-eye and left-eye images, to record video to watch on 3D televisions. It will become available in October at an MSRP of $1,399.95.
Panasonic also said that it had developed a digital interchangeable twin-lens, which will work with the LUMIX G Micro System. The company will later announce compatible models.
Finally, Panasonic announced the upcoming release of the DMP-BDT100, its third 3D-ready Blu-ray player. The player, meant to make Hollywood 3D movies look as good as possible in the home, will arrive in August, with pricing to be determined.
“This year will be remembered as the 'First Year of 3D Era' and Panasonic has already taken the lead by launching 3D-capable VIERA televisions and Blu-ray 3D Disc Players,” Darin Pepple, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company, said as part of the announcement. “With Panasonic's development of a twin-lens capable of 3D shooting, the company is providing consumers with a way to capture their own 3D content, which they can then enjoy watching in the comforts of their own home.
