Just in Time Films vs Z10000

The Z10000 is a mixed bag that, for me, is an essential tool anyway. When I started down this 3D path two years ago, there were no integrated 3D cameras on the market. In May 2011, I bought Sony's HDR-TD10, a Handicam that had a single manual dial to...

Panasonic z10000 first thoughts...

I've been using the z10000 for about two weeks now. Since I'm the first reviewer of this camera I'm just going to lay out my thoughts about this camera without really polishing or organizing my review.

Panasonic HDC-Z10000 review

3D video cameras have traditionally fallen into two broad ranges: low-budget models that you can use for a bit of fun, such as the Sony Bloggie 3D, and high-end professional models for film and TV. With its Z10000 Panasonic has taken a different tack,...

It shoots high-quality 2D and 3D footage, with a full 1080p frame per eye, but the laggy electronic zoom control and touchscreen reliance detract slightly

Panasonic HDC-Z10000

The Panasonic HDC-Z10000 provides professional-grade 3D shooting at a fraction of the cost of professional-grade camcorders.

Shoots two whole Full HD frames in 3D mode ; Uses latest AVCHD 2.0 for 3D recording ; Full range of professional features

Pricey compared to consumer models ; Shutter speed only controlled via LCD ; Non-mechanical zoom can be laggy

The HDC-Z10000 has a couple of notable niggles - the touch-operated shutter speed control and laggy zoom ring being at the forefront. It will also seem massively expensive when JVC's Everio GS-TD1 costs half as much and Panasonic's more...

Panasonic HDC-Z10000 hands-on

Panasonic has effectively redefined the high-end camcorder market with the HDC-Z10000. It's easily the most sophisticated 3D camcorder released to date, with more than enough features to satisfy any wannabe James Cameron.

Stunning 2D and 3D image quality ; 3D macro shooting mode ; Extensive manual controls ; 3D-compatible touchscreen

3D-compatible editing software is limited

The Panasonic HDC-Z10000's £3,000 asking price may seem steep, but it's actually pretty cheap when you consider that the company's professional 3D line starts at around £15,000. And, when it comes to image quality and functionality, the HDC-Z10000...
