For those of you who are ready to jump on the 3D bandwagon early, you will be pleased to know that Sony’s Bloggie 3D camera is now available and ready for your film making career. Capable of recording in 2D and 3D, this 1080p, 5 megapixel camera is capable of recording 4 hours of 2D footage on 8GB of memory and 80min of 3D footage. Of course, the real story here is the ability to record in 3D for just $249. 3D fans will be pleased to know that you can playback your 3D recorded content via the Bloggie’s 2.4-inch LCD without the need of any 3D glasses and if you are looking for a little larger screen, you can output the 3D footage to any 3D television via the onboard HDMI though glasses will be needed at that point. The Bloggie 3D specs include:

  • 8GB Internal memory
  • Video Format : MP4 / MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
  • Video Mode : 1920 x 1080 (29.97fps, Progressive) 1280 x 720 (59.94fps, Progressive) 1280 x 720 (29.97fps, Progressive) 3D: 1920 x 1080, (29.97fps, Progressive)

  • Recording and Playback Times : 3D: 1080/30p = 80 min.; 2D: 1080/30p = 80 min., 720/60p = 160 min., 720/30p = 240 min
I for one cannot wait to jump on this unit and give the 3D a try. Sure it won’t be on the same caliper as some of other Sony’s 3D cameras, but those also cost $1,300 more.
