Pocket-Lint: Two lenses and two sensors, haven’t we seen this somewhere before? Panasonic’s first stereoscopic pocket camera in the Lumix DMC-3D1 is taking on the Fujifilm Finepix W3 (and W1) before it.
Capable of not only 3D stills like its rival, but also 3D video, the cunningly named 3D1 is currently the world’s most compact camera to offer such tri-dimensional dynamism. Official proportions are 108x58.5x24.1mm, so not much bigger than a single-lens, single-sensor combo. The Panasonic weighs 193g with card and 200-shot battery inserted, ensuring it will slip into a trouser pocket or purse.
Engadget - Do you shoot 3D photos? Nope, neither do we, but Panasonic certainly seems to hope that'll change -- perhaps even as soon as next month, when its Lumix 3D1 hits store shelves... for $500. And how much camera does half a grand buy you? Well, for starters you get not one, but a pair of 25-100mm optical zoom lenses (30-120mm in 3D mode), pumping images to dual 12.1 megapixel 1/2.3-inch sensors.
