Panasonic Corporation will release the world’s first professional, fully-integrated Full HD 3D camcorder in fall 2010 "Twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder". Engineering samples of the professional Full HD 3D solid-state camcorder will be exhibited at the Panasonic booth (Las Vegas Convention Center) at the 2010 International CES in Las Vegas, USA, from January 7-10.

This new innovation includes the lenses, camera head, and a dual Memory Card recorder into a single, lightweight body. The camcorder also incorporates stereoscopic adjustment controls making it easier to use and operate.

The twin-lens system adopted in the camcorder’s optical section allows the convergence point to be adjusted. Functions for automatically correcting horizontal and vertical displacement are also provided. Conventional 3D camera systems require these adjustments to be made by means of a PC or an external video processor. This new camcorder, however, will automatically recalibrate without any need for external equipment, allowing immediate 3D image capture.

Panasonic will be offered at a much lower price than traditional 3D rigs, and Memory Cards are available already everywhere.
