Panasonic Launch Details on World's first 3D Consumer Camcorder!

Panasonic have released the full details of their latest creation, the World's first 3D consumer camcorder with interchangable lenses!

“The 3D lens will allow high-quality shooting in 3D as a new member of the lineup of interchangeable lenses for Panasonic's LUMIX G Micro System,” said Alistair Robins, group marketing manager, LUMIX, Panasonic Australia.

The camera works by having two optical systems installed within the diameter of the mounted lens. This creates  stereo images from the left and right hand lens, which can then be processed into 3D video footage. 

“Until now, 3D shooting with an interchangeable lens system camera has only been possible by using panorama systems or a combination of two lenses and two CCDs, but these systems have drawbacks including the need for a dedicated 3D camera and the difficulties capturing moving objects,” Robins added.
