Sony's HDR-TD10 Full HD 3D Camcorder brings the excitement of 3D to your home videos. Capture eye-popping memories that will blow your friends and family away when viewed on your 3D HDTV or the generous 3.5" LCD, which requires no special glasses. Of course, those 3D movies can be viewed in 2D and the camera can capture straight 2D movies and digital stills to its 64GB flash memory as well.
The TD10 utilizes 2 "Exmor R" sensors which capture 1920 x 1080 3D video. The "Exmor R" sensors are back-illuminated for excellent shooting, even in low light conditions. Other features of the camera, which render impressive 2D and 3D video include 60p and 24p recording and dual wide-angle G lenses from Sony. Your video will also benefit from Sony's Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode, and other shooting features like 10x optical zoom in 3D mode, and 17x Extended Zoom in 2D.
When it comes to the audio features of the TD10 the camera has a 5.1 channel Surround microphone for all-encompassing audio, wind noise reduction, and microphone and headphone jacks. Additional features include a manual control dial, an Active Interface Shoe for attaching various Intelligent Accessories, and a number of shooting and review controls. Highlight Playback, Event Browse, and Intelligent Auto are just a few of ways Sony makes recording and playback easier.
Double Full HD 3D Consumer Camcorder
The Sony HDR-TD10 utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920 x 1080 3D video. Most 3D cameras achieve the 3D affect by splitting a 1920 x 1080 signal in to two 960 x 540 channels in order to squeeze them onto one sensor, thereby limiting resolution on the final output. Because the Sony HDR-TD10 utilizes two HD sensors, it provides a full 1920 x 1080 lines of resolution on both channels, giving you a richer and more immersive 3D experience
1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p/24p Capture & 7MP Stills
Capturing 1920 x 1080 high definition resolution lets you record your memories in exceptional Full High Definition quality. Capable of 60p recording and playback via HDMI and compatible HDTV, providing stunning clarity and incredibly detailed playback of your memories. If you're looking for a film-like quality look to your video, 24p recording is available for you
3D Ready 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD Display with TruBlack Technology
The LCD is also 3D ready, enabling you to view your 3D content directly on the camera's LCD without the need for 3D glasses. TruBlack technology brings remarkably higher contrast and brightness to the camcorder's 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD display, delivering more natural, realistic colors and easier viewing in bright conditions by reducing glare
64GB Embedded Flash Memory
The built-in 64GB embedded Flash memory can record and store up to 25 hours of 2D high definition video footage (HD LP mode), or up to 5 hours of High definition 3D video
Back-Illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS Sensor
Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony's back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the "Exmor R" sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions
Dual Wide Angle G Lenses
Experience the pinnacle of Sony lens technology with the professional-quality G Lens. Engineered for superior optical performance, Sony G lenses deliver brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, amazingly detailed images. In addition, the 29.8mm(2D) and 34.4mm(3D) focal length in Video Mode offers a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle shooting
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization w/Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video, whether you're shooting in 3D or 2D
Tracking Focus Follows Selected Subjects
Tracking Focus works as an extension of Face Detection to allow you to select an object with a touch of the LCD and have the focus follow the selected object
10x Optical Zoom in 3D mode
Zoom in on your subjects even in 3D mode with 10x optical zoom
17x Extended Zoom
Extended Zoom works in conjunction with 12x optical zoom to get even closer to the action while maintaining HD image quality
Manual Control (Iris/Shutter/Exposure/White Balance)
Get the most out of your camcorder with enhanced manual controls. The assignable dial allows for control of focus, exposure, white balance, iris, and shutter speed
Easily Switch Between 2D/3D with Dedicated Switch
A dedicated switch allows for easy switching from recording 2D to 3D, whether you're recording or playing back video. In 3D mode, only 3D content will be displayed for playback, however when in 2D mode, all content will be displayed and played back in 2D. This allows you to record all your video in 3D and choose later whether or not you want to playback in 2D or 3D
5.1ch Surround Mic for Vivid and Dynamic Surround Sound
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording
Active Interface Shoe
