LAS VEGAS — 3-D Blu-ray discs alone aren’t going to make 3-D TV take off. Consumers have to be able to create and view their own three-dimensional home movies, student films, and the like.
To that end, Sony unveiled today a spankin’ new, 3-D-capable Handycam that promises to unleash your inner James Cameron, while also providing razor-sharp 1080p HD for those not quite ready to hop aboard the 3-D TV bandwagon.

On the outside, the Handycam HDR-TD10 boasts what Sony is calling “Double Full HD,” owing to the fact that each of the integrated dual lens (a setup necessary for shooting in true 3-D) contains all the key components for operation: A Sony G lens, CMOS image sensor, and image processor. Naturally, you’ll still need a 3-D TV to show off your custom content, but you can also view 3-D playback sans glasses on the Handycam’s optimized

Under the hood, the HDR-TD10 commands 64 GB of flash memory, as well as a 10-inch optical zoom for those extreme close-ups, 5.1-channel surround sound, and 7-megapixel still-image capability, if you’re just merely scouting locations for your next Avatar fanfic epic.
Look for the the HDR-TD10 on store shelves sometime in April, and be prepared to lay down about $1,500 for that budding director in your life.
