Pricing of first Panasonic 3d Camcorder

It is available for pre-order. Amazon says it would cost 1,399 USD once it arrives in October, 2010. So it looks to be 400 USD more expensive than HDC-TM700 similar to HDC-HS700. But for those 400 USD you are getting 3D and additional flash memory. I would pay extra, don't you?

Nissan Connect

What I most like about Nissan - they put the Nissan Connect system into each model. I didn't see the Mitsubishi Colt with Navigation System so far. Optional Navi+RearViewCam systems are pretty expensive for other makes. With Nissan, you would be able to enjoy this so needed feature even in Micra. And of course I can not imaging Maxima or Altima without it.

Panasonic 3d Camcorder - HDC-SDT750

This one would be my first gadget of the day. I planned to buy HDC-TM700 previously but it looks I would be waiting for HDC-SDT750. Not really to make a 3d - I have no 3D LCD yet. It is also the best small-size camcorder Panasonic made so far. It should be one.
