Direct Your Own 3D Blockbuster

By: Bill Armstrong (Contributing Editor)

It seems that nearly every movie coming out is in 3D. This is due partially to the overwhelming success of James Cameron’s Avatar in 3D. With everyone jumping on the 3D bandwagon, it only makes sense that now you can create and watch your own 3D movies with Panasonic’s new 3D camcorder.

Panasonic is calling it the Worlds First 3D Shooting Camcorder. Labeled the HDC-SDT750, it appears to be one of their existing camcorders with a 3D lens attached. It will capture your cherished home memories in stunning 1080p, and play them back in 3D, as long as you have a 3D ready television.

Panasonic is rumored to announce this device later this week, but information has been leaking for more than a week now, with a page showing up on Panasonics website briefly last night. Thankfully, the guys at Engadget were on the ball and able to get a few pictures and specs for us. Ultimately, the success of this camera will depend on the success of 3D as a whole, but right now things are looking promising with a huge line up of 3D capable televisions, dvd and home theater systems. At the very least, this will be a fun toy to play with until the whole 3D fad dies out (or not.) So what do you think?
