Comments about DXG-5F9VK HD 1080p 3D Camcorder:

Working with footage of events 10 years, I bought this machine to test recordings in 3D, very good, easy to operate, and has an excellent image. I recommend for all users. Cuiddos should be very close when filmed images, scenes should be quick nan tiring sightseeing. The 3D photos are spectacular.

Comments about DXG-5F9VK HD 1080p 3D Camcorder:

Works very well. For the price it does an excellent job of capturing stereo video.

Some points to be aware of: it writes AVI files which are hard to deal with on Macs. It produces only SBS format stereo output, not MVC. It does not have image stabilisation - a tripod is almost essential.

It has a well planned stereo capability, with three convergence settings. The zoom works in stereo (but don't go too far or you will wreck the effect). Colour balance is nicely adjustable.

    Comments about DXG-5F9VK HD 1080p 3D Camcorder:

    This is a great little camcorder at a great price. I've had mine for just a few days and so far it's more than I expected. I made a demo video and posted it on YouTube channel: urbancowgirlshow . The demo is in 1080p, best viewed on a 3d monitor or 3d tv, not with anaglyph red/cyan glasses, but YouTube gives you the choice of 3d mode and resolutions from 1080p on down.

    Comments about DXG-5F9VK HD 1080p 3D Camcorder:

    The DXG 5F9V is a good entry-level 3D video camera. It does most of the same things the much more expensive 3D camcorders do and is much smaller, lighter and simpler to use. My major complaints are that image stabilization is not particularly effective, sound quality is lacking and viewing the LCD screen is difficult under bright outdoor lighting conditions (where 3D photography is best). Contrary to some of the reviews I have seen, it is possible to zoom while filming in 3D. However, the zoom is not smooth and the image quality is somewhat reduced when zoomed all the way in. I found that the side-by-side 3D AVI video files produced by the 5F9V cannot be saved to a data disc and viewed on a 3D TV using a DIVX-rated DVD or Bluray player. The included software may have the ability to edit the video files and convert them to AVCHD format for saving on a disc, but the software documentation was confusing and I was not able to accomplish anything with it. Your best bet is either to leave the video files on the SD card and play them on your 3D TV using the camera as the playback device (HDMI cable included), or transfer the files to a storage media and play them on your side-by-side-capable 3D TV using a computer with appropriate video player software. Even with its issues, I am having fun making and viewing my own HD 3D videos with the DXG 5F9V.

    Comments about DXG-5F9VK HD 1080p 3D Camcorder:

    Major selling point? 60 fps. If you capture video frames at all, when you view your videos, are the captured frames always blurry? My expensive SONY cameras only had one good frame every 4 or so frames. Simply because they could not do 60 fps except in slow motion, short duration is all they could do slow motion, and not hi res. It doesn't have image stabilization? I never ever saw any that worked anyways. With 60 fps, you can get clear video. End of story.
    Quality camera, made cheap, but sold cheap, with everything you need, and will produce better imagery and better results than a high priced SONY camera. I have 5 SONY camcorders trust me I know. From now on its DXG for me. I bought the 2D loved it, so right away I bought the 3D.
    Also, very impressed with B&H Photo. Fast efficient service, quality products, good delivery times. I shop on-line a lot.
