Panasonic HDC-Z10000 video review

More Photos
Video

The Panasonic HDC-Z10000 fills the gap between consumer-grade 3D camcorders and fully professional models. It sports two parallel lenses and two identical 3MOS arrays, each consisting of three 1/4.1in CMOS sensors. This is also the first camcorder on the market to take advantage of the 3D capabilities of the new AVCHD 2.0 format, offering MVC shooting with two simultaneous Full HD frames. Best of all, it is equipped with a host of professional features, from multiple lens ring controls to XLR audio inputs. So this may be a pricey camcorder, but no other 3D shooter offers this much for the money.
