Sony is Prepping the Alpha DSLR For 3D

cesar — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 16:14:23 +0000

Sony is at the forefront of 3D TV technology with developments in 3D TV displays and peripheral equipment such as the Blu-ray 3D and 3D-compatible PlayStation 3 gaming device. But their DSLR segment is not to be left behind with the news that they are working on 3D versions of their Alpha line of DSLR cameras. Sony could be taking the cue from Fujifilm, which recently came out with the world’s first digital 3D camera, the FinePix REAL 3D W1. This consumer 3D camera was enthusiastically received by consumers when it was launched earlier this year. There are still no 3D DSLR cameras at present in the market and Sony wants its Alpha 3D DSLR to be the first one. There are speculations (and apprehensions) that the new camera will be a big machine with dual lenses protruding from its front. You need not worry because Sony could just follow what they did in their 3D movie cameras that shoot 3D through a single port.
