Sony is likely to launch cameras that give consumers the ability to shoot in 3D format.
The cameras will form part of a drive by Sony to make 3D the next big thing in entertainment. Sony committed to launching at least one Bravia TV and one Vaio laptop computer with 3D capabilities in 2010 and also would offer a Blu-ray Disc player, as long as Blu-ray Disc Association settles on a 3D format.
But such products will be useless unless there is 3D content to watch.
Fujio Nishida, president of Sony Europe said, “Should consumers get the chance to make 3D video clips the market could expand much faster, so Sony will offer cameras and camcorders for the format.”
Sony has decided on some time in 2010 for its initial 3D product launch, it has yet to decide on when the cameras will go on sale.
