『Everio GS-TD1』は先日発表されたソニーの3Dビデオカメラと同じように2レンズ2CMOS構成で、フルHDを左右2枚ずつ記録する高画質機。視聴環境は、明確にこの3Dテレビで観られる！とはうたっていないのですが、記録方式が従来のサイドバイサイドのAVCHD（パナソニックのビデオカメラで採用されていた3D形式）でも撮れるとあるので、画質を落とせば、3D Vision環境でもいけそうですね。気になる価格は1999.95ドル。単純に日本円に換算すると約16万6000円とソニー機よりもやや高め……。日本でははたしていくらで売られるのか気になるところ。
メインストリームのモデルでは本体で2D-3D変換できる『Everio GZ-HM960』を発表。こちらは2Dで撮影して、再生するときに本体の液晶で3Dに変換して立体視できるというしろもの。
Everyone is at it! Hot on the heels of the Sony TD10 comes the JVC TD1. With such similar names and numbers this is going to get confusing fast! Anyway this is another dual stream full 1920×1080 3D camcorder with some impressive specifications. This taken from the JVC press release:
The new GS-TD1 uses two camera lenses and two 3.32 megapixel CMOS sensors – one for each lens – to capture three-dimensional images much the same way that human eyes work. JVC’s new high-speed imaging engine simultaneously processes the two Full HD images – left and right images at 1920 x 1080i – within that single chip. The newly developed “LR Independent Format” makes the GS-TD1 the world’s first consumer-oriented camcorder capable of 3D shooting in Full HD. JVC’s new camcorder offers other shooting modes as well, including the widely used “Side-by-Side Format” for AVCHD (3D) and conventional AVCHD (2D) shooting.
Side by side recording is going to be very usefull for going direct to consumer TV’s or for YouTube uploads so this is a nice feature indeed. It appears to only have a 5x optical zoom in 3D compare to the Sony’s 10x, like the Sony it features image stabilisation. It’s certainly an impressive looking unit. The flip out LCD screen once again uses some kind of parallax barrier for 3D viewing without glasses. The consumer 3D market is certainly growing at a rapid rate and I’m really excited about these new cameras. Sony.. JVC.. Anyone want to lend me one for my 3D shoot in Iceland in March???
The GS-TD1 should be available in March for $1995. More details on the JVC web site: http://newsroom.jvc.com/2011/01/jvc-full-hd-3d-consumer-camcorder-is-world’s-first/
