SYDNEY, NSW: Panasonic Australia today unveiled what it calls the world’s first 3D consumer camcorder. Priced at just under $2,000, the new camcorder is both a fully-functioning Full HD 2D video camera and a 3D recorder.

The 3D part of this camcorder — HDC-SDT750 — is actually just a removable lens. When placed on the camcorder proper, the dual lenses within record two different versions of the same subject matter, just as our eyes perceive vision. The camcorder then combines these two recordings into a single 3D video.

This user-generated 3D content can then be played back on a 3D TV either through an included HDMI cable or an SD card.

In addition to 3D shooting, this camcorder also features 5.1 stereo sound, a Leica Dicomar lens and Hybrid Optical Image Stabiliser. There’s also a pre-record function, in which the camera is actually continually recording three seconds before you start recording; a 1-second quick power-on; wind noise canceller; highlight playback function, for reviewing recorded images as quickly as possible; touch screen icons; time lapse recording; and a 50 frames per second high speed burst shooting.
