Pretty sure my Panny HVX200A cost a bit more than your 3D camcorder, heck my HMC40 cost more. Also my new 58" LG HDTV is NOT 3D as I see ZERO need for it. Sorry, it is not a matter of money.
I think 3D a passing fad or but even if it is not... I do not feel like I am missing out currently. Unlike you futurist not having BluRay or DVDs and living "in the cloud". I live in reality where 40% of the people do not have high speed Internet but do have a DVD player, and are lucky to be getting their first HDTV. Us here in the colonies just were forced to switch a little over a year ago to High Def. I will re-visit these emerging technologies in 10 years or so.
