Sony shows new 3D camcorder for consumers.

[TheForce]

Sony showed the latest upgrade to the original HDR TD10. The TD30

Last year Sony surprised everyone with a smaller full featured 3D camcorder, the TD20. This year's TD30 looks about the same, with better quality imaging ( 20.4 m pixels) and even better image stabilization. The price was lowered at MSRP $999. The way they achieved the cheaper price was to eliminate the internal memory and you supply your own SD card for recording. I did check out a few features and these seem to remain the same, such as only one 3D recording mode, 1080 60i. No 1080 24p or 1080 60p. These two modes are only available in the 2D function of the camera.

I like things simple and not into uneeded frills but this I admit would be cool to play with.

I had the chance to chat a little with the guy that introduced the TD10 today, he saw me with it in the booth and we talked about it for a bit, pretty cool deal I thought.

Did You have trouble understanding his English? Or, do you speak Japanese? I remember meeting him when they first showed the camera. He seemed to understand my questions, better than I could understand his answers.

No this guy was easy to understand.
