Just when you thought Japan was having a rest and rebuilding after their recent troubles they surprise us with a very advanced semi Pro 3D camcorder.

  • 3D video macro setting (17.8 inches)
  • Optical image stabilization systems for both 2D and 3D shooting

Having been working in the video business since 1988 I have amassed a great amount of knowledge of both the kit and production values over the last 30 years.

  1. Hi Phil!

    You are really a fast guy; I just wanted to email you about this new camcorder :O

    The technical data are simply stunning. For me it seems this new model is a combination of the Canon XF100 and those Panasonic little consumer models (TM900 e.g.).

    Since weeks, I am thinking about buying the Sony NX70, but now I am not sure anymore… As I heard, the price of the Z10000 might be also cheaper than the NX70!

    Greetings from abroad,
    Chris

  2. Now this is what I was waiting for!

    Cannot wait. Just wish they’d given some indication of time frame.
