Total score ?
(maximal 570)		271
Pros - optional 3D
- No more Trauerraender
Cons - Low sharpness
Conclusion Those who plan to shoot a lot of 3D should rather go for a dual-lens model of any major manufacturer.Panasonics adapter solution has indeed improved compared to the predecessor, but does not deliver particularly sharp results.
