paul, Keen amateur

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: Good picture quality and specification in 2D mode only.
Bad points:: Impossible to transfer 3D video to friends computer or to online sites without hours of rendering and serious editing programms.
Stabilisation of 3D image by the camera is poor. and cannot be done in editing. 3D image resolution appears no where near 1080, more like 480 in practice once it has been rendered.

Roger, Reading Keen amateur

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Very stable image quality when walking.
Excellent internal storage capacity.
Bad points:: Don't understand the 3D calibration, needs simplifying.
A bit on the heavy side, but you have to make allowances for 3D.

victor, Gibraltar Experienced amateur

Score 4.0/10

Good points:: This is a great tool but is usless with the Sonny 3D computer which is not compatable with it. Nor are most 3D televisions.

This makes it a very poor buy.
Bad points:: The format used is not a common one and is not compatable with general 3D televisions. Nor is it compatable with the Sonny 3D Laptop,

How bad is that

Product Features

Resolution quality	Full HD
Resolution quality can be standard definition (SD), High Defintion (HD) or Full High Definition (HD). SD camcorders will have 480 horizontal lines of resolution whereas HD camcorders can have up to 1080. The more lines of resolution you have, the sharper your video will look. Full HD refers to camcorders that record in 1920 × 1080 resolution.
3D	Yes

Optical zoom ratio	12
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Media format	Flash and memory card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Connections	Wireless

Connections	USB

Type of memory card	SDXC

Shape of camcorder	Horizontally held

Digital zoom ratio	160
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Type of image stabiliser	Optical
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
Widescreen recording	Yes
Resolution (Megapixels)	4.2

Hard disk capacity (Gigabytes)	64
Hard Disk capacity is measured in GBs which stands for Gigabytes. A gigabyte is 1000 MB or megabytes. The more GB you have the more info like photos and music you can store.
Shortest shutter speed (Fractions of a second)	1/10000
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
