Panasonic today is announcing three camcorders -- one of which can shoot still images up to 8 megapixels of resolution -- and what it calls the world's first 3D interchangeable lens.
The 3D interchangeable lens will be part of Panasonic's Lumix G Micro System of lenses. It involves using two optical systems (with two lenses and two CCD image sensors) within the diameter of the lens mount. Panasonic has not announced a price for the 3D lens and has not released any photos of the lens, but the company says it should be on sale before the end of the year.
The HM-TA1 digital camcorder from Panasonic (pictured here) can shoot full 1080p HD video, works as a Web cam, and can shoot 8MP still images. It measures only 0.70 inches in thickness.
The HM-TA1 will be available in purple, dark gray, and red in August for an MSRP of $169.95.
The other two camcorders Panasonic is announcing today are the HDC-SDT750 (a 3D camcorder, available in October with an MSRP of $1,399.95) and the HDC-SDX1 (a lightweight full HD camcorder, available in September with an MSRP of $499.95).
