Now THAT is a whole new development for affordable 3D photography!

Looks very exciting!

Probably going to get a load of people on here going "Ugh... Pointless.. Why ever would I need that?!?!"

But I think that is pretty nifty, especially coupled with the capability of HD video. Will keep an eye out for this one!

I am a M4/3 user and am interested in video but I have to say the whole 3D thing leaves me cold tbh

TBH I'm not a 3D fanatic and I think the only films i want to watch in 3D are war films and sci-fi's.

i do think panasonic have a good idea though and even though its quite niche at the moment there will eventually be a good amount of followers, reading on the engadget comments there's about 2/3 people who like it out of 100 lol

how does the 3D actually work?

I think it's the same as the old stereography, two lenses a bit like the fuji 3D camera.

I recently went to a product roadshow and saw Fuji's effort at a 3d camera. if you can manage to hold the camera at EXACTLY the right position when playing it back the it looks.... ok

The Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 will have a firmware update available shortly for 3D photos (recommended viewed on their Sony 3D TV of course ) But that enables 3D photographing and also on the panorama mode too

It doesn't when you're as colour blind as me

Pointless "in my eyes" (to coin a phrase)

curious to see how this will turn up....

This will work nicely if you can have the same image both 2D and 3D at the same time.

this is why I am not liking the 3D revolution, we need to have 2D and 3D for a choice because otherwise we would have to have two versions of everything; camera's, TV's, computers, media systems etc.
