Panasonic LUMIX DMC-3D1 Review

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-3D1 Review

At first glance, the Panasonic Lumix 3D1 looks and acts like a normal point-n-shoot camera. With a second look, you then notice the dual 4x optical zoom lenses, and realize there is something a little different about this camera. A set of wide angle lenses, dual 12.1-Megapixel High Sensitivity MOS image sensors and the Venus Engine allow the camera to capture 3D images and videos without tricks or moving the camera. The two lenses are calibrated to move and focus together, creating a 3D image the same way your own eyes do. The two separate images are then put together by a 3DTV or computer so that you can see them. If you like the idea of 3D but still want a regular digital camera, the 3D1 still works in 2D as well. In fact, the 2 lenses allow for a couple special shooting modes as well. It allows the camera to capture video and stills at the same time, as well as shooting with different focal lengths at the same time.

With the look and feel of an internal lens ultra-compact camera, the 3D1 is easy to take with you on the go. The sliding lens cover keeps the lenses safe; whether you have thrown it in a purse or slid it into your pocket for safe keeping, while making it easy to turn on and start shooting by just sliding open the cover. Except for the shutter release, 2D/3D switch and zoom control, everything else on the camera is controlled using the huge 3.5-inch, 460,000 dot Touch LCD screen. Right out of the box, the screen was calibrated and works as well as any other touch screen we have used. The screen itself is also very easy to see in all lighting conditions with its adjustable levels of brightness... Continue Reading
