Panasonic's $21,000 3D camcorder gets the hands-on treatment

You know how you shoot 3D? You strap two standard camcorders together, film, and then utilize one of Intel's newest chip to merge the two into something with depth. Alternatively, you can plunk down $21,000 for a pre-order on Panasonic's newfangled 3D camcorder, which was just introduced (officially, that is) at CES this week. Our home slices over at Switched were able to get a plain, mundane 2D camera on this piece at the company's booth, and while it doesn't exactly look as useful as a fully loaded Ford Focus, we hear it's great for making Avatar fanboy clips. Hit the source link and give the video a look, won't you?

Nah.... I'm not clicking on the source link, it's not worth going to Switched. Do people actually read that?!

wouldn't they have to spend more money to replace every other camera in a show to a 3d one?

[revoltracers Posted Jan 10th 2010 1:03AM]

@Billy It would obviously be unfeasible.

Or you can buy a car.

What program do you use to edit the footage from it?

[FabDex Posted Jan 10th 2010 9:31AM]

Darren, the term "film" really doesn't apply when you're talking about camcorders.
