I saw this camera last year at NAB, but it was just a concept kept under glass.
Looks like it's real now...and only $21,000.00!
HMC250?

3D TV, Already?
With the announcements this week that both ESPN and Discovery (in partnership with Sony and Imax) would launch 3D channels within the year, the race to produce and license 3D content is officially on.
Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, Mitsubishi, Vizio and LG also introduced 3D-capable television sets at CES this week and Panasonic (see Gear Up, below) was the first to unveil an integrated 3D camera that shoots HD and records to SDHC/SD memory cards. Exactly which HD format the camera records natively is still under wraps, though more details will likely come in the months leading up to NAB. Panasonic says it will begin taking orders this spring for the $21,000 camera and will make each one to order for a fall delivery. JVC, another early innovator in 3D, is taking an even more practical approach: a real-time 2D-to-3D conversion box that turns your existing programming into repurposed content for 3D viewing. If you’re shooting in 3D, JVC’s IF-2D3D1 Stereoscopic Image Processor also works as a left-eye/right-eye mixer for easy monitoring, with a 3D LCD display, of 3D footage on set.
There’s still plenty of demand for regular HD footage and audio, outside the 3D ring. This month we’ve got reviews of two terrific DAWs, including the first software DAW from PreSonus, a video tutorial from Grass Valley about how to import, trim and play out SD or HD clips from the new T2 iDDR, and a column from Peter Plantec on whether or not GPU acceleration has reached its full potential.
