ViewSonic Rolls Out ViewFun 3D Camcorders at CES 2011

Given its increasingly important presence on the CE segment, we were actually expecting ViewSonic to bring forth some new and exciting products at CES 2011, and sure enough, that's exactly what the company did, as they've unveiled the ViewFun 3D line of products, that also includes a couple of 3D camcorders.

While we won't tackle the entire ViewFun 3D lineup, that also includes a 3D glasses-free digital photo frame and a 3D digital camcorder, we will talk about the 3D camcorders included in this series, that might prove to be some serious competitors for the better-known brands out there.

So, first of all, we'll go to the ViewFun 3D Palm Full HD Camcorder, the flagship product in the ViewFun series that delivers Full HD 1080p 3D and 2D recording capabilities at 60 fps, as well as dual LED lights for video, a night shot auto off mode, a built-in stereo microphone and speaker.

The device comes equipped with a glasses-free 3.2-inch 3D LCD panel, accompanied by white balance correction settings (auto, sunny, cloudy, fluorescent and Tungsten) and HDMI port, rechargeable Li-ion battery and flexible SD/SDHC storage slot options.

Next in line come the ViewFun 3D Pocket and PocketHD camcorders, that allow users to record 3D or 2D HD videos in Full HD 1080p on the ViewFun 3D PocketHD and HD 720p on the ViewFun 3D Pocket.

Similar to the ViewFun 3D Palm Full HD Camcorder, the pocket versions enable live 3D playback on the 2.4" LCD panel without glasses, using parallax barrier technology, and also include mini HDMI port and an USB rechargeable Li-ion battery and flexible SD/MMC storage slot options.

Plus, the dual 5-megapixel fixed focus cameras can also be used for capturing 3D still images.

The ViewFun 3D Palm Full HD Camcorder should arrive in stores in Q2 2011 for an ESP of $249.99, while the ViewFun 3D PocketHD is expected to hit the shelves in roughly the same time frame, at a price of around 200 US dollars.

However, the ViewFun 3D Pocket camcorder is already available on the market, for an ESP of $179.99.
