Panasonic HDC-SDT750, High Definition 3D Camcorder

Panasonic HDC-SDT750, High Definition 3D Camcorder by Panasonic $950.00 At Amazon on 4-29-2012.

World's first 3D Shooting Camcorder Fulls HD 1080/60p Progressive Movie Recording Advanced 3MOS System Intelligent Auto Hybrid OIS From the Manufacturer World's First* 3D Compatible Camcorder with 3D Conversion Lens Unlike previous 3D images that required complex, professional equipment to create, now you can shoot your own. Simply attach the 3D Conversion Lens to the SDT750 for quick and easy 3D shooting. And because the SDT750 features the Advanced 3MOS System, which has gained worldwide popularity, colors are vivid and 3D images are extremely realistic. Let the SDT750 save precious moments for you in true-to-life images. * As a consumer camcorder with 3D conversion lens for the AVCHD standard (as of July 1, 2010). How does the human perceive 3-dimensional images? Because the left and right eyes are located at different positions on the face, the left and right eyes percieve slightly different images. the difference between the two images is called "visual disparity." The brain processes these two images with visual disparity to reconstruct spatial conditions, enabling us to see things with three-dimensional depth. Easily save important scenes in 3D. 3D Image Recording When the 3D Conversion Lens is attached, the SDT750 artificially produces an effect called visual disparity. Right and left images are captured simultaneously by the two lenses, and recorded using the side-by-side method. To view* the recorded images, simply connect the SDT750 to a 3D compatible TV, such as a VIERA 3DTV with an HDMI mini cable. * A TV that is capable of 3D playback using the side-by-side method, 3D Eyewear, and HDMI cable connection are required for playing the 3D images you have recorded. 3D Image Recording You can adjust the level of low-frequency sound that is included in the audio track while shooting. * As a consumer camcorder with 3D conversion lens for AVCHD standard (As of July 1st, 2010) High Quality 2D Image & Sound Captures stunning low-light scenes. NewAdvanced 3MOS System 3MOS SystemTo maximize the beauty of Full-HD 1920 x 1080, 60 progressive recording, Panasonic further refined its globally acclaimed 3MOS System. The Advanced 3MOS System combines the 3MOS Sensor, Leica Dicomar Lens, and Crystal Engine PRO, and incorporates noise reduction technologies that are a step above those of our conventional noise reduction systems. The 3MOS Sensor, with its three-sensor configuration, provides a resolution of 7.59 million effective motion image pixels (2.53 million x 3). The 3MOS Sensor splits the light information captured by the lens into the three primary colors - red, green and blue - and processes each color with its own individual sensor. This reduces light loss compared to the 1MOS sensor, and renders colors, details and gradation all with intricate detail and natural beauty. The results are spectacular. Images shot in bright conditions are even more vibrant and detailed. And in dim lighting, you can capture clear, sharp images with minimal noise and vivid colors. See for yourself how Panasonic technology brings out the best in Full-HD image quality. * Compared to previous Panasonic models. High-density, ultra-smooth images. 1080/60p Recording (Full-HD 1920 x 1080, 60 Progressive Recording)* Full HDThe SDT750 uses the progressive method to record twice as much image data as the interlace method. Whereas interlacing requires two images to produce a complete picture, the progressive method records a single image as a complete picture. Plus, the 60 Progressive Recording of the SDT750 produces 60 images per second**. This extremely dense image information creates intricate detail and silky smooth motion. Even when subjects move quickly, afterimages are minimized to create more natural images. The progressive method is most effective when shooting designs where moire patterns tend to occur, or when capturing scenes during sports events where the subjects are intensely moving around. Also, the recorded images displayed clearly even when they are made into still images, so it is possible to preserve stunning photos when clipping them from videos. Interlaced Scanning (1080/60i) Only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture. Fabric patterns run together, and moiré patterns appears. Progressive Scanning (1080/60p)* Reproduces all of image data in a single picture. Patterns in fabric are crisp and clear with no color bleeding. * 1080/50p (full-HD, 50 Progressive Recording) in PAL areas. **In NTSC areas. 50 images per second in PAL areas. Beautiful zoom shots of distant subjects. NewIntelligent 18x Zoom and HYBRID O.I.S. The SDT750 features an Intelligent Zoom function that goes all the way up to 18x. When using Intelligent Zoom, Intelligent Resolution technology lets you shoot at high zoom rates while preserving the image resolution. You get sharp images of highly detailed objects -- without the blurry edges. Plus, the SDT750 is equipped with HYBRID O.I.S, an image stabilization system that corrects hand-shake blurring by combining the action of its hybrid optical and electrical image stabilization systems. Even when zooming, where hand-shake often occurs, both optical and electrical hand-shake correction make it possible to record beautiful images with approximately 2 times* the hand-shake suppressing effect as conventional models. * Compared with the HDC-SD700, HDC-TM700, HDC-HS700. Even more powerful hand-shake compensation. NewO.I.S. Lock (Optical Image Stabilization) The image-stabilizing effect is increased by pressing and holding the O.I.S. Lock indication on the LCD screen, which maximizes the blur detection sensitivity. This is great for when you want to zoom at a fixed angle, like for bird watching. * Considerable blurring is generated by the shifting of the corrective lens when the camera is panned or tilted. A bright, high-performance lens. NewLeica Dicomar Lens LEICA DicomarPanasonic HD camcorders use Leica Dicomar lenses, which are renowned for their ability to render sharp images and excellent shading. They also suppress ghosting, flare, and distortion at the image edges. Even in strong sunlight, these superb lenses maintain high contrast and resolution. A bright new F1.5-F2.8 lens with a 46mm filter diameter has been created for the SDT750. Efficient light collection allows the new lens to capture bright, clear images even in dim lighting or at high shutter speeds. This high-end lens brings out all the beauty of Full-HD images. * Leica is a registered trademark of Leica Microsystem IR GmbH, and Dicomar is a registered trademark of Leica Camera AG. Intricate details from Intelligent Resolution Technology. Crystal Engine PRO Crystal Engine ProThe new Crystal Engine PRO instantly processes the huge amount of data that goes into Full-HD images, and further enhances Full-HD quality. It produces smooth, high-resolution zoom shots even when the range exceeds the limit for optical zooming. Crystal Engine PRO clearly delineates even the tiniest details of your subject, with extremely natural beauty. New Noise Reduction (NR) Technology minimizes noise when recording in low lighting conditions, and Intelligent Resolution Technology ensures sharp and crisp pictures, resulting in bright and beautifully colored motion images. Sharpens details and enhances smooth areas. Intelligent Resolution Technology Intelligent Resolution TechnologyThe Intelligent Resolution Technology incorporated in the new Crystal Engine PRO uses edge detection technology to confirm the edges of objects within the image, then emphasizes the edges for optimal clarity. For example, it brings crisp definition to patterns and the outlines of objects like flowers. Conversely, it reduces noise and enhances the natural smoothness of parts without edges, like the sky. The increased sharpness is especially effective for images with delicate details. This highly advanced technology maximizes the beauty of Full-HD images. * Intelligent Resolution Technology works only for digital zoom shots. Captures large groups, even when shooting from up close. 35mm Wide Angle Lens* 35mm WideThe 35mm wide-angle lens on the HD 700 Series and SD600 fit more people and more of the background into the frame than a conventional 44.9mm lens. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room. * 35mm camera equivalent Capturing voices over a wide area for a more life-like sound. 5.1-Ch Surround Sound System & Zoom Mic Dolby Digital 5.1 CreatorThe SDT750 is equipped with five electret condenser microphones. The center mic helps capture the sound source and distance accurately, so you get a more 3-dimensional effect than you get with conventional systems, which capture all sounds from the front. You get a realistic sound space that's a perfect match with the true-to-life HD images. * Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.

The center mic helps capture the sound source and distance accurately, so you get a more 3-dimensional effect than you get with conventional systems, which capture all of the sound from the front. This lets you enjoy dynamic sound together with the lifelike 3D images. * Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby" and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. Wide Mode Focus Mode Picks up audio from all directions to reproduce a natural, lifelike sound field. With the five highly directional microphones, this mode enables the microphones to focus on sounds coming from right in front of you, even when the lens is not zooming. Wind Noise Canceller The technology of the previous Wind Cut function has evolved to form the Wind Noise Canceller. The new function automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise, to give you natural sounds with lifelike ambience. Also, unlike the previous Wind Cut function, which switched to monaural recording, the Wind Noise Canceller enables stereo recording. This maintains natural sounds when shooting outdoors. Bass Control You can adjust the level of low-frequency sound that is included in the audio track while shooting. Film-like beauty: Captures more data to deliver richer images. Digital Cinema Mode Progressive 1080/24p (NTSC)*1 / 1080/25p (PAL)*2 Set the HD camcorder to Digital Cinema mode to shoot in the progressive 1080/24p (24 pictures per second) format for NTSC area, and in the progressive 1080/25p format for PAL area. Progressive scanning captures clear, vibrant images with intricate detail. You also get faithful images with an appealing film-like quality. Digital Cinema Color*3 with VIERA Selecting the Digital Cinema Color mode makes it possible to shoot film-like images that are ideally suited to the Digital Cinema Color of VIERA plasma TVs. Colors recorded in this mode look richer than those recorded using the conventional Panasonic standard. For example, the subtle shades of red and gold in flowers, and the greens of leafy trees are remarkably true to life. *1 The video captured as 24p using Digital Cinema Mode is converted and recorded as 60i. *2 The video captured as 25p using Digital Cinema Mode is converted and recorded as 50i. *3 When using a TV that is compatible with "x.v.Color", images that are recorded in Digital Cinema Color mode will have a wider color range than conventional images. The color range varies depending on the TV. x.v.Color is a registered trademark. Stunning still images, even when enlarged. Still Picture Recording at 14.2 Megapixels Still Picture Recording mode lets you shoot with a maximum resolution of 14.2 megapixels*. You can also simultaneously record still images and video at 13.3 megapixels**. * For images recorded with a 3:2 aspect ratio. ** For images recorded with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Sets the optimal mode for each shooting situation. Scene Mode Automatically selects the most suitable shutter speed and aperture for the shooting location and situation. Scene modes: Sports Portrait Low Light (Motion image only) Spot Light Snow Beach Sunset Fireworks Scenery Night Scenery Night Portrait (Still image only) Gives your subjects smoother looking skin. Soft Skin Mode When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside of the skin. Sharps focusing even up close. Tele-Macro You can shoot macro close-ups while maintaining a distance of 70cm from your subject. In addition, using the zoom at full magnification makes it much easier to capture extreme close-ups without your body or camera casting a shadow on the subject and while keeping the background in soft focus. I bought this Panasonic 3-D camcorder based on the fabulous features it shows in the description.Zoom 12X with 18X capability and High Definition full 1080P.It has many features usually found on Professional models but when you connect the supplied 3-D attachment the buck stops here, or should I say the value.When shooting 3-D you do not have HD-1080P. In fact, your shooting in 3:2 instead of 16:9 which means the High Definition quality is gone and you have a black border surrounding the screen.There's no Zoom.The Fuji W3 may only be 720P but at least if has a 5X optical zoom and plays in 16:9 format.The Fuji W1 and W3 both shoot 16:9 3-D still photos.Even the cheaply made Aiptek 3-D camera takes photos and Video in 16:9 format and it's only $200.00 but the quality is really bad.As for the Panasonic. it does not shoot still photos at all in any format with the 3-D attachment.I am lost for words on how Amazon and especially PANASONIC avoids any mention of these facts.They certainly lead the consumer to believe the fabulous features of the camcorder are available while shooting both 2-D and 3-D.There should be a big warning: THE FEATURES OF THE HDC-SDT750K CAMCORDER SHOWN IN THIS DESCRIPTION DO NOT FUNCTION WHEN SHOOTING 3-D.Also, Panasonic should not claim that the consumer will be able to shoot 3-D video just like Hollywood with this statement:POWERFUL TRUE TO LIFE 3-D VIDEO JUST LIKE HOLLYWOOD MOVIES.This is false because the depth of the 3-D does not come even close to reality of a really devoted 3-D camera such as their professional model or the old Toshiba.Panasonic makes a great professional 3-D camcorder priced at $21,000.00 and they could make a consumer model for much less by merely making a 3-D camcorder specifically designed for 3-D only.My old Toshiba 3-D camcorder works great because it's devoted to shooting only 3-D and the lenses are farther apart so it has the proper depth of field.It's too bad Toshiba was ahead of it's time with limited resolution of standard VHS tape.I will say when shooting close ups the Panasonic does a great job with 3-D but beyond 20 to 30 feet the 3-D is more like 2-D.One other positive feature is that after you put your 3-D video on a disc it will play directly on your 3-D TV just like a Bluray 3-D movie, but only in 1080i 3:2.When will Sony come out with a real consumer 3-D camcorder like Toshiba did 20 years ago?What are you waiting for SONY.UPDATE 11/25/10If you own any laptop or computer with NVIDIA 3-D you will not want this Panasonic 3-D camcorder because it is not compatible with NVIDIA 3-D.The best 3-D camera you want is the AIPTEK 3-D camera priced on Amazon at only $189.00.It's a cheaply made camera and the quality is not as good as Panasonic but Aiptek includes NVIDIA 3-D in their softwear. (PLease read my review on the Aiptek 3-D camera)It's really an insult for Panasonic to allow this cheaply made Aiptek from China to be ahead of one of the biggest consumer electronic company in Japan and the world.Please read my important update below dated 9/4/11IMPORTANT UPDATE 5/15/11I finally got the new Sony HDR-TD10 3-D camcorder I've been waiting for so long (Priced at $1,498.00) and what a disapointment.It will not allow 3-D copying to disc like this Panasonic.The Sony direct DVD copier does not recognize the SD memory card from Sony's new 3-D camcorder but the Sony direct DVD copier does recognize and copy the SD card from this Panasonic camcorder and makes an instant 3-D AVCHD copy ready for immediate viewing on any 3-D TV with a Bluray 3-D player, just like a Bluray 3-D movie. Sony does not allow any copying in 3-D, you cannot view 3-D in a computer designed for 3-D viewing such as the Toshiba laptop with Nvidia 3-D or any of the Acer 3-D laptops.In fact, the only way you can watch 3-D with the new Sony is to watch your 3-D video directly from the camcorder with the HDMI connection.You can transfer your 3-D video to an external hard drive but then must return the 3-D video to the camcorder in order to watch it in 3-D.Sony praises the fact that when you shoot 3-D video you're able to watch what you shoot later in HD 2-D and so when you do transfer your 3-D videos to a computer you can watch it in 2-D. BIG Deal!If I want a High difinition 2-D camcorder I can get one for a lot less then $1,498.00, even a model made by Sony.Sony does have nice 3-D quality with a little more depth but I'm sending mine back for a refund because of the lack of other features.I hate to say it 3-D enthusisits but I now appreciate this Panasonic more then ever because it is the only 3-D camcorder which allows your 3-D videos to be copied and viewed on a Bluray 3-D player.Perhaps Panasonic's claim that it's just like Hollywood 3-D movies isn't completely false after all as I previously stated in this review.By the way, the new JVC 3-D camcorder is the same as the Sony. It will not allow any 3-D videos to be copies to a disc and the only way you can watch the 3-D video you shoot is with the camcorder connected to the TV with the HDMI connection.I read this in a review posted at B & H. so I'll save my money for some one to do it right!SPECIAL UPDATE JUNE 2011I was curious about a cheap CODY 7 inch portable 2-D to 3-D DVD player actually manufactured by V-ZON model TF3DVD7019 so I decided to check it out for $118.00 here on Amazon.I was expected to be disappointed and I was at first because it would not play any 3-D from the Fuji W1, Fuji W3 or of course any of the AVCHD DVD's from this Panasonic 3-D camcorder but was I surprised when I played a copy of a regular 3-D DVD made from this Panasonic 3-D camcorder that was not AVCHD.It plays pretty good in 3-D.There's a little ghosting now & then and there's no 3-D adjustments but it works!I made the regular type of DVD without AVCHD by connecting the audio/video cable supplied with my Panasonic 3-D camcorder directly to the input of my DVD recorder.If you attempt to make a copy with the Panasonic softwear you will only get 2-D if you choose to make a regular DVD copy. Only AVCHD copies are in 3-D.I did notice slight pausing every few seconds when playing the DVD on the Cody player so more testing will have to be done but it's atill a way to view your 3-D videos when you're away from home.Don't expect HD quality and keep in mind you must be directly in front of the Cody 7 inch screen in order to view 3-D properly.I am not a big fan of CODY or V-ZON products as they usually bite the dust after the warranty is expired but I'll take a chance on this product because it's the only way to watch my Panasonic 3-D videos without a 3-D TV.IMPORTANT UPDATE 9/4/11You will be happy to know that the latest version of Stereoscopic player available from 3dtv.at features ways to view 3-D files from this camcorder and new Sony 3-D camcorders.I have a Toshiba 3-D laptop and the Stereoscopic viewer has various options for viewing Side By Side 3-D including Nvidia 3-D which is installed in my Toshiba so for the first time I am now able to watch 3-D from this Panasonic camcorder on my computer.Please see my other reviews.
