Sony HDR-TD20V 3D Camcorder

Sony's new 3D camcorder 'Handycam HDR-TD20V' is 34% smaller than the previous model. The HDR-TD20V has a pair of 5.4 Megapixels sensors, 30% more than the former TDR10. The interaxial distance is a bit smaller and the objectives have a smaller focal distance, an advantage when shooting close-ups. Sony will put it on the market in March 2012 at a retail price of 1500$.
