Total score ?
(maximal 570)		440293
Pros + Extreme manual control options
+ Very good image quality
+ Good 3D control
+ manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
Cons - No ND filter
- Autostereoscopic display mode
- somewhat blurred compared with other HD video
Conclusion Even as a 2D camcorder the Z10000 is absolutely competitive thanks to the professional features and excellent image quality.The additional 3D capabilities are currently unique in this price range (and even much further) (as of 11/2011).This cam shines with unusual (in this price category) manual controls and smart automatic modes and a touchscreen.But the small 1 chip sensor limits the picture quality too much.
