We’d heard Panasonic was planning a more affordable stereoscopic 3D camcorder, but it looks like we won’t have to wait until a mysterious July 28th Tokyo unveiling to find out for sure — it’s called the HDC-SDT750, and Panny’s advertising it as the “World’s first 3D Shooting Camcorder.” Leaks at all the seams of the company’s website afforded us the above picture, and the surprising revelation that the product may not be a brand-new camcorder, but rather an existing high-end 3MOS model (we’d guess the HDC-HS700) with a “3D conversion lens” attached. If the yet-to-be-activated product page’s source code can be believed, the SDT750 will shoot in 1080p AVCHD at 60fps, feature Panny’s proprietary Hybrid O.I.S. image stabilization technology, and come in a lovely shade of Henry Ford black. That’s all we have for now (save a second tiny picture after the break) but rest assured we’ll be keeping tabs on this one.

Update: Looks as if even more images and purported specifications have leaked out ahead of the official reveal.

Según nuestro servicio secreto, Panasonic tiene una sorpresa a los videoaficionados convencidos del potencial de vídeo 3D; la Panasonic SDT750, la primera cámara de vídeo de consumo que graba en 3D.

Por unos 1.900€ la Panasonic SDT750 promete acercar el vídeo en tres dimensiones a los aficionados más…, aventureros. Esta peculiar videocámara cuenta con un conversor frontal independiente que integra las dos lentes (similar a la Panasonic AG-3DA1) que obtienen las imágenes con ángulos diferentes. Internamente cuenta con un sistema captor 3MOS Full HD, por lo que tiene cierto parecido con los últimos modelos de videocámaras domésticas. La cámara graba en Full HD 1080/50p pero reduce su resolución a 960 x 1080 pixeles en los frames 3D. El objetivo angular equivale a un 35mm perotambién se reduce a un 58mm al acoplar la lente 3D. La Panasonic SDT750 puede funcionar como una cámara convencional 2D sin la lente 3D, que por cierto no es compatible con los modelos anteriores de vídeocámaras.

Sin embargo el gran punto negativo es que las grabaciones sólo son compatibles con televisores Panasonic Viera, lo que limita en gran medida su mercado potencial. Esperamos con ilusión que el software de edición 3D incluido, el HD Writer AE 2.6T  permita convertirlo a un formato más universal, porque sino no le vemos demasiada utilidad. La Panasonic SDT750 integra:

  • sensor 3MOS 7,590,000 pixels (2,530,000 pixels x 3).
  • HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
  • Advanced 3MOS System
  • Crystal Engine PRO
  • Leica Dicomar Lens
  • O.I.S. Lock
  • iA (Intelligent Auto) with Face Recognition
  • Manual Ring
  • 5.1-Channel Surround Sound System
  • 1.0-sec Quick Power-On
  • Pre-Rec
  • Touch-Screen Operation de 3″
  • Time Lapse Recording
  • 50 Frames/sec High Speed Burst Shooting
  • compatibilidad con tarjetas SDXC
