JVC GS-TD1
$1,999.95
Released March, 2011
The Pros:Affordable price point for the featureset. Real 3D - parallel lenses and sensors. Optical zoom in 3D.
The Cons:Pretty pricey for the everyday consumer. Designed primarily for 3D - standard 2D performance is lacking compared to similar 2D-focused cameras of the same price. Low 5x optical zoom in 3D mode, extends to 10x in 2D mode.
The JVC GS-TD1 is a high-end camcorder, promoted by JVC as the first consumer level camcorder to offer full HD 3D recording. The GS-TD1's full HD 3D capability is owed to the high speed processor that can simultaneously produce two full HD images (1920 x 1080i), recording in both the left and right streams (a process that JVC refers to as LR Independent Format).

Also contributing to this 3D ability are this camcorder's twin 3D HD GT lenses, each with a 3.32 megapixel CMOS sensor. The GS-TD1 is equipped with the Falconbrid 3D image chip, which further contributes to the 3D ability of this camcorder. The 3.5" glasses-free 3D touch panel screen allows you to get a proper in-field view of your images. Besides the full HD mode, this camcorder supports the more common side-by-side format AVCHD 3D, as well as AVCHD 2D. The 5x optical zoom of this camcorder helps to ensure that you will get detailed images no matter what format you are shooting in. The GS-TD1's 64GB of flash memory can be expanded via an SD card slot. The BIPHONIC 3D sound processing of the JVC GS-TD1 camcorder helps to ensure that the quality of audio will stand up to the quality of images.
