Few days ago we told you that Panasonic would launch the new 3D camcorder…and here it is: https://panasonic.ca/english/broadcast/broadcast/3d/3dcamera/3d_en.html. I know that this news doesn’t match with our usual MicroFourThirds stuff but I guess that soon we will also see 3D photocameras from Panasonic!

Is this a separate camera than the AF-100, or is it a specialized lens you can attach to the AF-100?
don’t know why all this fuss about 3d.
I personally have been using full hd 3D since 1972 and don’t see the need to have 3d cinema, 3d tv, etc, etc…
it seems 1954 all over again…

Of course to do 3D well, you need a mirror rig to be able to change the interocular distance from 7 cm down to a clean 0 cm and everything in between. Otherwise you can’t film anything closer than about 3 meters. Just ask James Cameron.
Panasonic didn’t got that memo, unfortunately.
It is a different camera, and you can probably buy (3) AF-100s for the price, which I read in the Spring to be US$20,000.
It appears to be more like an AG-HMC150 body with twin lenses.
Eek. Without control for interocular distance, your eyes will hurt when watching this footage.
This camera is not a good ambassador to bring 3D to the masses. If this cam gets used, 3D will die a quick sudden death.
Pretty old news…they had a site up for it in the spring.
Might be time to change the name of the site from 4/3 Rumors to Oly/Pana Rumors. We’re starting to discuss camera technology other than 4/3 sensors lately, which is fine. Just suggesting.
Is it just me or does that photo look like a really Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit? 🙂
Hehe…can’t wait for the 3D porn ! 😀
