The Sony HDR-TD10 a complex device offered in the form of a small and compact handy cam. However, in comparison to other HD cameras, it is larger and can even be defined as bulky. However, HD video is not the only innovative feature offered in the Sony HDR-TD10. You will also have the ability to shoot 3D images. The device comes equipped with two side by side lenses in the front. These two cameras make up for the bulk of the device as well as the ability to capture a 3D image.

Although it was called bulky, for a 3D capable camera, it is very well built and is perfect for extended use. As for the features the Sony HDR-TD10 offers 3D as its primary feature. You will find that this feature is easily accessible without the need to resort to complicated exercises such as swapping out lenses or calibrating them. Instead, the simple flip of a switch will allow you to switch between 2D and 3D according to your preference. When it comes to watching the captured 3D video, there is no need for those 3D glasses with the Sony HDR-TD10. However, although the 3D features are impressive and adequate for a novice user, the reduced control and versatility to adjust and fine tune the settings will put off many advanced users.

On the back of the device, there are plenty of ports along with a battery compartment. The switch to jump between 3D and 2D recording is also found on the back of the handy cam. The Sony HDR-TD10 comes loaded with plenty of advanced manual control features. While most of them are unavailable to use in the 3D mode, the features did meet expectations.

The Auto Mode, which is one of the features available for 3D recording, works perfectly up to the same high standards, set by previous Sony cameras. Although the autofocus feature is not available in the 3D mode, it offers impressive performance on the 2D mode where it has the ability to make full use of the touch screen display. The autofocus feature will be put in to action when you tap a subject in the picture. This will automatically keep the camera focused on them despite their movements. For fine tuning during 3D capturing, you can use the touch screen or the control dial positioned at the front of the device.

Sony has a great autofocus tracking feature where you tap on a subject in the picture, and the camera then automatically keeps them (or it) in focus no matter where they move. For most people, this will be as advanced as you need to get. However, this feature is not available in 3D mode. To fine-tune 3D focusing, you can use the touchscreen or the control-dial on the front. The touchscreen seemed easier to use, although you can more easily “fine-tune” with the dial on the front.

In conclusion, the device is simple to use and is an impressive deal for the first one of its kind. For those who are not interested in the 3D features, there is always the option of selecting a smaller HD device.  On the other hand, with such an incredible 3D picture, the Sony HDR-TD10 is well worth the 3 pounds of weight.

A few days ago I downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird and I saw that OMG, I was wasting my time with Outlook Express, I t is one of the best email applications and very easy to use, so I decided to export all my emails and contacts from Outlook Express to Thunderbird.
