Three dimensions, one small camcorder.
Brace yourself for immersive 3D HD video recording in a compact size. This innovative camcorder features dual Full HD sensors, lenses and processors, plus 24p/60p recording and a 3.5" screen that lets you review 3D footage without special glasses. It also captures crystal-clear 2D video and delivers crisp, beautifully blur-free footage thanks to Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. All that in about the same size and weight of a conventional camcorder.
3D to a higher degree.
Just when you thought shooting in 3D couldn't possibly get any better, the Full HD 3D Handycam camcorder stepped things up a notch. With two Full HD sensors, this camcorder provides full 1920 x 1080 resolution on both channels?which makes for a vastly richer, more engaging and immersive 3D experience.
Say goodbye to glasses.

Infused with TruBlack technology, the LCD provides superb contrast, brightness and glare reduction so you can comfortably and accurately review your footage on the fly?even outdoors or in bright lighting conditions.
Shoot in 3D, view in 2D.
Share your 3D videos with friends and family?even if they don't have a 3D-compatible TV or PC to view it on. With the option of 2D playback from 3D recordings, everything that's captured in 3D can be watched in 2D. So there's really no reason not to record everything in 3D.
Superb Sony G Lenses.
No, the G doesn't stand for "great"?but it could. Proudly at the pinnacle of Sony lens technology, the G Lens is engineered for optimal performance, delivering brilliant color, detailed imagery and accurate color reproduction?even in 3D. And with enhanced wide angle shooting in both photo and video modes, rest assured nothing will be left out of the picture.
Beautifully blur-free footage.
Whether shooting in 2D or 3D, Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video?from wide angle all the way to full telephoto shooting. By countering camera movements in horizontal and vertical directions, innovative 3-way shake-canceling adds electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture. Get sharp, blur-free footage in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking or riding in a moving car.
Get close with 17x Extended Zoom.
Get closer to faraway subjects without moving an inch thanks to 17x Extended Zoom. Working in conjunction with 10x optical zoom, Extended Zoom digital technology gets you 17x closer to the action while maintaining HD image quality, even as you pan in for extreme close-ups.
Features
Double Full HD 3D Consumer camcorder
The Sony Handycam HDR-TD30V utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920x1080 3D video for a more immersive 3D experience. Most 3D cameras achieve the 3D affect by splitting a 1920x1080 signal in to two 960x540 channels in order to squeeze them onto one sensor, thereby limiting resolution on the final output.
3D Ready 3.5? Xtra Fine LCD display (1229K)
The LCD is also 3D ready, enabling you to view your 3D content directly on the camera?s LCD without the need for 3D glasses. The display delivers a more natural, realistic colors and easier viewing in bright conditions by reducing glare.
1920x1080 Full HD 24p/60p w/20.4MP Exmor R CMOS Sensors
Capturing 1920 x 1080 high definition resolution lets you record your memories in exceptional Full High Definition quality. Capable of 60p recording and playback via HDMI and compatible HDTV.

Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony?s back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor R CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.

Intelligent Auto (180 different scene combinations possible)
Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes and wind noise reduction. There are 180 different combinations possible: Portrait, Baby, Walk, Tripod , Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro, Low light, Auto Wind Noise Reduction. The camcorder utilizes an advanced sound processor and sophisticated noise reduction algorithms to reduce wind noise by up to 10db compared to other models. In addition to reducing low frequency noise, iAuto also suppresses mid- and upper-frequency noise, resulting in clearer, more enjoyable sound.
Take sequential still photos with golf shot
Building on the slow-motion capture capabilities of Smooth Slow Record, Golf Shot captures a few seconds of motion as a sequence of up to 22 still images, which can be viewed/printed individually or as a composite ?sequence shot? image, perfect for analyzing the nuances of a golf swing, tennis serve, and other fast action.
