    [title] => Meet the Lumix DMC-3D1
    [body] => 

In our opinion, there are far too few people out there taking 3D images and one major reason is the perceived difficulty barrier—taking two images and combining them for a stereo effect with special software or using custom twin digital SLR camera rigs is simply too complex and/or expensive for most of us mere mortals.

Enter the 3D-capable point-and-shoot, the latest of which is Panasonic’s upcoming Lumix DMC-3D1. Similar to Fujifilm’s FinePix W3 (now on its second generation and a popular choice for many of the images you see on this site), the DMC-3D1 employs a twin-sensor (12 megapixels each), twin-lens design featuring two 25mm ultra-wide angle lenses with 4x optical zoom.

According to Panasonic, the camera will enable users to not only capture 3D images and full HD 3D video, but you’ll also be able to use the dual lens/sensor design to record 2D stills and video—at the same time! Sounds interesting to us and we can’t wait to get our hands on one and show you some sample 3D images—stay tuned.
