I’m still not sold on 3D, but I’ve almost been hooked when I’ve filmed 3D home movies and watched them on a 3D TV while reviewing products. That personal connection may just be the tipping point for some people to invest in 3D cameras, and Sony’s happy to oblige. The Aussie program is a first and a pretty interesting idea.
More news from today’s Sony event:
- Sony Tablet S Gets Aussie Price Drop And 3G, Dual-Screen Tablet P Arrives
- Sony’s First Android Walkman Will Be $269 In April
Sony Centre stores will soon lend out gear for three days, whether you own a Bravia TV or not. All you’ll need to do is slap down a credit card as a guarantee.
The loan program will launch in 12 national Sony Centres from 8 February and will provide a range of
Sony 3D products, set to expand over time, which currently includes:- 3D Handycam HDR-TD10 camcorder
- Alpha NEX C3 camera
- 3D Bloggie camera
- 3D Sony Pictures films
- 3D PlayStation games

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 5:44 PMReally any shop should do this, to allow you to make up your mind if you should buy it or not. I have no interest in 3DTV though. Just a nice FULLHD set does me, until they can get glasses free 3D.
