Sony HDR-TD10E

The Sony HDR-TD10E's double lens with independent sensors makes it the first 'real' 3D camcorder to be able to shoot stereoscopic video in Full HD.  Alongside the JVC GS-TD1, it's also one of the first to feature a 3D display. The HDR-TD10E is available from 1249$ in US retail stores.

When filming in 3D, the TD10E only offers an interlaced resolution of 1920 x 1080/50i, with a progressive 50p out of the question because the processor simply can't handle two entire Full HD video frames at once.  That's not too much of a problem because the quality is excellent, and the TD10E has the same advantages as the rest of the 2011 Handycam range from Sony.

 

The f/1.8 Sony G lens has a 10x zoom in 3D and 12x in 2D; the 3.5" autostereoscopic display offers 1.2 Mpixels. Sony Vegas Pro 10 is the tool of choice for editing the content.
