Keeping its pace with the latest development in the video and photography industry, the Japanese giant Panasonic Corp. announced the planet’s first fully integrated full HD 3D Camcorder.

Yeah, you heard it right! After the latest series of buzz created by the 3D movies and 3D televisions, it seems “3D” is the thing which is stealing much more attention than anything else.

HD 3D Camcorder from Panasonic

So…we have been seeing 3D movies for a long time now, then how come this is the first 3D Camcorder on the planet ?? Till now, the 3D recordings were done with the conventional 3D setups/rigs, which included two different sets of cameras, rigs, installations, recording media, etc. integrated parallel or vertical to each other to combine and form a single rig. These conventional setups used to be bulky, costly with unending maintenance requirements, and a lot of video processing, integration, recalibration and after-shoot activities were required.

All those demerits are now done away with this Panasonic 3D Camcorder with a single setup integrated to perform all the functions. This provides a cheap, light weight and a wonderful solution to all those problems faced by the usage of those conventional rigs.

It is supposed to be under 3 kg wt. and a power consumption of under 19 W makes it highly and efficiently portable. The dual SD/SDHC memory card support takes care of the storage with much ease. Its like a dream camcorder for any professional in need of full HD 3D recording.

The price is expected to be approximately $21,000 which is way cheaper than the conventional setups used till now. And with the price sure to go down with further developments in technology and competition, it surely has been a big achievement for the video industry. It would be interesting to see how the other biggies come up and pose some serious reply to this “first” by the Panasonic.
