There has been much discussion on 3D/stereoscopic solutions for DSLR. One such discussion is on 3D Stereoscopy – Canon 5D MkII and some DIY tips and tricks. The thing that seems strange to me is that Digital Video solutions that make use of some form of HD acquisition, seem to do so with a load of shortcuts and high prices. However with DSLR, we have all the wonderful control of manual functions and interchangeable lenses. Ok, I am not a fan of the type of compression used to acquire video on DSLR, but I have heard good reports.
Now Panasonic comes out with a 3D consumer camera by using a previous model and adding a kind of 3D lens adapter. Yet, here, there is a Lumix (Panasonic) DSLR that is well priced and has put together a history of community involvement to improve it (lets just call it good manipulation of firmware updates), and at a better price. This together with a new 3D lens adapter is just amazing.
Now I am left wondering, why would anyone buy the 3D consumer camera when they can get this Lumix DSLR and be able to interchange the lens at will.
Interesting.
However I must say that holding a DSLR with a decent lens is not very comfortable. Rigs required.


Wow. It's Quiet Here...
