Magical

 

This product is magical. Compact, Stylist and easy to use. It records 3D videos in very nice quality. 3D videos recorded using this camera is joy to watch on 3D TV. Happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

Reappraisal after making a stupid mistake.

 

This is a follow up to a previous submission by me. I will admit my mistakes! The camera comes with a built in USB connection as stated in the instruction book. It also comes with a data cable to USB connection, with an extension cable, USB female to...

Not so easy to downlaod anything on XP. (EXTRA PROBLEMS)

 

I purchased this in August 2012 just before going on a cruise. Ideal for a 3d camera as most thing videoed are close up. The camera performed well and I am pleased with the 3d results that are on the camera. And it looks like that is where they are...

Sony HDR-TD20VE

 

Stunning 3D video, just like a Blu-ray blockbuster ; Excellent quality stills too ; Switch to SSDD from HDD storage reduced weight considerably (Have the previous top end HDD model) ; Waiting for other devices to catch up with 3D support is only reason...

Sony support is rubbish ; PS3 fails to play 3D files copied to its hard drive or burnt to DVD in 3D, 2D viewing only despite PS3 supporting the the AVCHD 2.0 3D video format ; My brand new flagship Sony KDL-55HX853 also fails to recognise the format as...
