Our quick take

Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 - 3.5 / 5

Two lenses give double the options

Photos and video in 2D and 3D

Quality and performance 

To recap

One of the most expensive point-and-shoot cameras not to bear the Leica badge, here the user is paying a price premium for 3D stills and video. On the other hand the Panasonic 3D1 is the most compact camera currently to offer that facility, so there will be those - a limited few, granted - who’ll agree a little extra is worth paying to be able to self generate content for that equally pricey 3D telly.
