ViewSonic announces ViewFun 3D camcorder line, hopes we won’t notice a bit of re-branding

3D technology’s inevitable race to the bottom officially kicked off today with ViewSonic’s announcement of their new ViewFun line. The Palm 3D HD was the priciest item shared due to its ability to record full HD 1080p in 3D or 2D at 60fps. Some of its other notable features include a rechargeable Li-ion battery, an SD slot for expandable storage, and a 3.2-inch LCD screen which uses parallax technology to display 3D video without wearing glasses. If you can’t afford to spend $250, ViewSonic also announced the ViewFun 3D Pocket, ViewFun 3D PocketHD, and ViewFun 3D Snap Pocket camcorders for $149, $179, and $199. The thing is the ViewFun 3D PocketHD isn’t really new, and we still remember when it was called the 3DV5 earlier this year; so unless you’re desperate to spend under $180 on a 3D camcorder, we’d wager Sony’s new 3D Bloggie Touch line is a smarter use of funds.
