Sony HDR-TD10

If you're not looking to shoot 3D, look elsewhere

The best consumer 3D on the market; Fantastic motion in 2D

3D footage is unpleasant to watch; Color, noise, and low light scores subpar

The Sony Handycam HDR-TD10 is one of two consumer camcorders with the capability of recording “Double Full HD” 3D images (the other being the JVC GS-TD1, which we used as a comparison model throughout this review). The fact that the TD10 can record...

Sony Handycam HDR-TD10Camcorder Review

The twin lens system featured prominently on the front of the Sony HDR-TD10 should tell you one thing: this is a camcorder that can record 3D video. The HDR-TD10 can also record 2D video at a 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution, but it is currently just one...

Sony HDR-TD10 3D Camcorder Review

Instant glasses-less 3D monitoring ; Double Full HD (1920x1080) 3D video ; 2D use of all 3D footage ; Direct Copy to a HDD (no need for a computer)

Manual 3D Depth Adjustment indicator lacked sufficient information for precise control ; No 3D stills

Fun, easy and effective 3D video with the option of 2D video at any phase makes the TD10 an excellent choice for bringing depth to your scenes.

Consumer review by: johnstage (cnet.com)

Excellent little 3D camera for near-range general work.

Much better than Nu-View, much cheaper than Panny 3DA1, I love this little camera, but... sure could use some editing software, and more control... it's here, it's 3D, get used to it! Updated on May 15, 2011

Low cost dual camera system. Excellent no-glasses lcd screen. Manual controls,however arcane. Physical size permits mounting on main camera for 2D/3D shooting. 5.1 Audio recording. Very nice images in 3D or 2D. Cost allows cheap multicamera shooting

Waiting for Vegas 10d, or Godot, whichever comes first. Awkward manual controls (Handycam, after all). Still unknown stream separating capability (Waiting for...). No recording with lcd closed. No pause in main camera control. No ; lanc control

Pretty cool little device, haven't gotten to put it through it's paces yet, but did take it through the Carlsbad Caverns Wednesday... Performed pretty well in low light conditions, took it to a car show a couple weeks ago with good results. Now to...

Easiest and highest quality way to do home 3D

I looked at buying this camera from Amazon a couple times but just couldn't ever bring myself to pay the 1000+ bucks it was going for here. I was walking through Best Buy a couple weeks ago and saw they were clearing them out (I assume to make way for...

Offers Pro Features for Indie Film Makers

I make low budget indie films and last year I completed my first feature in 3D using a rig I built myself that mounted two Sony HDR-CX100's side by side, as well as a few shots with the Sony Bloggie3D.

Consumer review by: SZaf (sonystyle.com)

Big problem

I bought this vidcam when it came out. Generally, I am a fan of Sony's products. Until now (almost a year) there is no support for 3d playback for PS3. Sony promotes 3D and call itself a leader but even its own systems can't support each other: if you...

good 3d, very good 2d

Forget about sharing your video clips, no 3d playback support for PS3 (or any other platform), basic functions missing

Special moments are even better the second time around when captured in true 1920x1080 3D or Full HD 2D. That's videographer geek-speak for vastly richer, more immersive image quality—the kind that engages, amazes and inspires. The HDR-TD10 camcorder allows you to easily switch between recording in 3D and 2D, and if your friends (or fans) don't have a 3D-compatible TV or PC, it's no problem; everything shot in 3D can also be played back in 2D. And with a 3D-ready LCD, you can view content in amazing 3D directly on the camcorder's LCD—without the special glasses.
