Panasonic's consumer-grade 3D camcorder leaks out

Panasonic's consumer-grade 3D camcorder leaks out, the HDC-SDT750

We'd heard Panasonic was planning a more affordable stereoscopic 3D camcorder, but it looks like we won't have to wait until a mysterious July 28th Tokyo unveiling to find out for sure -- it's called the HDC-SDT750, and Panny's advertising it as the "World's first 3D Shooting Camcorder." Leaks at all the seams of the company's website afforded us the above picture, and the surprising revelation that the product may not be a brand-new camcorder, but rather an existing high-end 3MOS model (we'd guess the HDC-HS700) with a "3D conversion lens" attached. If the yet-to-be-activated product page's source code can be believed, the SDT750 will shoot in 1080p AVCHD at 60fps, feature Panny's proprietary Hybrid O.I.S. image stabilization technology, and come in a lovely shade of Henry Ford black. That's all we have for now (save a second tiny picture after the break) but rest assured we'll be keeping tabs on this one.

Am I the only one worried by the seemingly very small stereoseparation? of course it all depends on the size of the lenses but still...

I don't know. The separation seems far too low to be useful. Why did they do that?

On the contrary it looks just good for a consumer product.
Too much separation would cause big problems when people get close to the camera, which happens a lot with camcorders.

I just purchase a pair of Panasonic Sd700 for 3D shooting. Not sure if the conversion lens be used with my cam. Physically should be fit, but the workflow unsure.
