Sony has introduced their first Handycam in the year 1985. Recently, in an international show they have launched the latest version of 3D Camcorder. Sony manufactures their latest Handycam with the consumer oriented 3D technology.
The Sony’s 3D high definition Camcorder is incorporated with the lighter and smaller capabilities. Therefore the user can play the recordings on both the traditional and non traditional televisions with finer qualities. This time the Sony’s product development team has managed to reduce the weight of the Camcorder from 42 ounces to about 22 ounces.
The Camera equips two lenses for capturing stills, taking 2D video. It also helps to record 3D.
