Expert review by : James Morris (trustedreviews.com)
JVC's Everio GS-TD1 is the first consumer camcorder to offer dual-frame Full HD 3D.
Dual-frame Full HD 3D ; Optical zoom in 3D mode ; Decent low-light performance in 3D mode
Very expensive ; Full HD 3D uses proprietary format ; Manual lens cover
Although we’re still not entirely convinced by 3D either as a domestic viewing format or for grabbing your home movies, JVC has at least created a product with potential to cross over into the semi-professional arena. Where the Panasonic consumer...

JVC's GS-TD1 finally unlocks the true potential of 3D movie making
Expert review by : Steve May (pocket-lint.com)
Until now, Panasonic has been a lonely champion for homemade 3D, offering a range of camcorders compatible with its VW-CLT1 3D accessory lens. We looked at the brand's HDC-SD900 recently and were suitably impressed, although like all the 3D capable...
Excellent, border free 3D video, 3D still imaging, autostereoscopic 3.5inch touchscreen monitor, versatile shooting and framing options
Unconventional balance takes some getting used to, expensive if you don’t intend to make full use of the 3D, Full HD 3D MVC format is a non-starter for prosumer editors
The JVC Everio GS-TD1 redefines what we can expect of a 3D camcorder. This shooter may be a tad cumbersome, but compared to a pro-rig it’s a masterpiece of compact engineering. We loved the unparalleled creative control on offer, and 3D image quality...

JVC launched what it calls the world's first consumer camcorder with full HD 3D at CES 2011, although Sony actually pipped it to the post and announced

When JVC launched their GS-TD1 3D camcorder claiming it as a world first, they obviously forgot to check what Sony were up to. We hunted the new model
Expert review by : Matt Tuffin (techadvisor.co.uk)
Footage is recorded onto a 64GB internal flash drive, although with the inclusion of an SDXC port this can be doubled at the very least. Recording in 3D takes about a third off of the capacity, meaning the six hours in 2D becomes four. At no point is...
It goes without saying, but without the correct TV setup the GS-TD1 is largely pointless. The 3D quality is among the best we’ve seen from a consumer camcorder, but the proprietary files means playback is limited to a direct TV connect. A decent...

Will the world's first consumer 3D camcorder be a success or failure?
Expert review by (channel5.com)
The JVC Everio GS-TD1 is the first consumer camcorder to shoot Full HD video in 3D, featuring two separate lenses and sensors to shoot two independent frames simultaneously. It's pricey, but it has a lot to offer. The good Sure, you'll still be able to...
If you're in the market for 3D camcorder, the JVC Everio GS-TD1 should definitely top the list. Unfortunately, as well as being the best, it's also one of the most expensive, with a price tag well in excess of a thousand pounds. JVC Everio GS-TD1 is...

Review Let's cut to the chase: JVC's £1,600 GS-TD1 is the most sophisticated 3D camcorder you can buy. While Panasonic may have pioneered DIY 3D moviemaking with its bolt-on 3D accessory lens [1], this is the first stereoscopic shooter aimed squarely...
Pupose-built pro-sumer 3D camcorder.
