Double Full HD 3D Consumer camcorder

The Sony® Handycam® HDR-TD20V utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920x1080 3D video for a more immersive 3D experience. Most 3D cameras achieve the 3D affect by splitting a 1920x1080 signal in to two 960x540 channels in order to squeeze them onto one sensor, thereby limiting resolution on the final output.

64GB1 embedded Flash Memory

Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor® R CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor® R CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.

10x Optical Zoom in 3D mode

Zoom in on your subjects even in 3D mode with 10x optical zoom.

Manual Control (Iris/Shutter/Exposure/White Balance)6

Vacations, field trips,independent filmmakers Amazing 3D camcorder, it truly surpassed my expectations .Picture quality awesome, some nice features unfortunately the lack of manual controls as well as the 60i video stream only in 3D, and the lack of 24p in 3D are the only reasons I will give this product a 4 out of 5. It will be nice to see Sony in the future come-up with something at this price point with more manual features as well as 24p/60p or even slow motion, it will be amazing with this new technology they are coming out with lately. I must admit, I was very skeptical about ''3D'' for while until I saw with my own eyes the capabilities and innovations that Sony is putting out...Good Job Sony ! I definitely recommend this HANDYCAM to an amateur, semipro or a pro wanting to do high-end 3D capture for any event. I love Sony products, but his HANDYCAM is fantastic! December 7, 2012
Sony should wake up & do justice for new buyers The latest instrument should have all the old features added to it. Sony plz mail me whn you cover these two Cons. Am just eagerly waiting for it. October 25, 2012
Good camera Almost everything about this camera is great but Macintosh buyers beware. The editing software runs only on a PC. You should not have to buy a camera and a new computer as well!! August 1, 2012
Outstanding Camera I have used this camera on 2 trips with 1 spare battery and several memory cards I could record all day and not run in to any problems. I do have a problem with having to move a switch from 3D to 2D to take a still picture, I can view my 3D recording in 2D on my display while still recording in 3D so why can?t I take a still by just pushing the same type of button? I love the 3D it looks so good on my TV. July 16, 2012
