Abstract: JVC have just topped off their popular Everio camcorder range with a strange-looking beast. The twin lenses may be rather reminiscent of Wall-E, but they are the secret behind its effortlessly brilliant 3D capture.The TD1 uses twin lenses and sensors, whi...
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 camcor...

Impressive 3D quality, well featured
Annoying proprietary file format
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 camcorder...
Stunning 3D movie capture, evn in low light conditions,
No external battery charger.
JVC has really set the bar when it comes to consumer level 3D video recording with its dual-HD lens system providing superb 3D imagery, backed up by low-light sensors and decent stereo sound. It might even be enough to persuade you that 3D is here to s...
Glassesfree 3D display, Line in for a mic, HDMI cable included, 64 GB memory, Automatic parallax configuration
Digital stabilisation crops frame, No wide angle (42 mm)
The JVC GS-TD1 is great camcorder for 2D and 3D video: it's easy to use, but has a less powerful zoom than the Sony TD10, a narrower lens and no real optical stabilisation. That said, it does manage to cram more detail into the frame than its rival....
Sure, you'll still be able to shoot regular 2D and HD content on the JVC Everio GS-TD1, but JVC has thrown all its weight behind the 3D technology on this compact camcorder. To get the best 3D imagines, JVC has packed in pretty much two of everything – from the 3.32-megapixel CMOS sensors, to the dual lenses.The design of the JVC Everio GS-TD1 means that it's capable of capturing two high-definit
The JVC Everio GS-TD1 doesn't really have any major flaws. It records regular high-definition footage well, and is even better when it comes to Full HD 3D videos. The only downside is the price, which unfortunately puts the JVC Everio GS-TD1 out of reach of most regular consumers.
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 ta...
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 models s...
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 i...
Make no mistake; JVC’s GS-TD1 is a highly specialised camcorder. I certainly wouldn’t advocate buying it unless you have a serious interest in 3D photography. However if 3D is an area you want to be creative in, this is by far and away the best non-...
