Sony HDR-TD10 Handycam
The smartphone may be killing the stand-alone camcorder, but it still can’t shoot 3-D. This “standout” camera has enough memory for five hours of filming and a 10x zoom for getting into the thick of the action.

Panasonic DMP-BDT210
You don’t have to own a 3-D TV to want this 3-D-enabled device as your Blu-ray player. It offers “excellent image quality,” a “very simple” user interface, and access to Netflix streaming.
