has anyone had a play with these?
Specs etc are here
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Fujifilm+FinePix+REAL+3D+W3+Digital+Camera&oe=utf-8&client=mozilla&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=8682091621200335356&sa=X&ei=lgS6Tcn4O4ruuAP8vNG3Cw&ved=0CEYQ8gIwAQ#i had a play and the image on the disply on the back is true 3D. no need for glasses etc.
But i had a thought when i was handling the camera. While there is definite value in being able to produce 3D Images, for me , should 3D become common place , i think Photography would be losing it's soul.
While the image was quite trippy,i did not inspire me or want to go down the path of 3D snapshooting.It made me think about how much i actually
enjoy Film and being able to produce an image that has meaning and depth with Film and Paper, and not be seduced by Hi Tech Wizardry for the sheer sake of it.
I must admit , that while i seen a few Movies in 3D , overall i really am not that impressed with it. Avatar was a great Film in 3D but by and large the other movies that i seen did nothing to add to the viewing experience other than make my Wallet a lot lighter.and the same goes for Photography, i get a lot enjoyment from seeing a Stereoscope, but seeing a Digital 3D image was somewhat of a disappointment.
Maybe i'm getting old,cynical and doddery , but the more hich tech the gadget the more i wish for a simpler life, without the constant electronic noise and flashy lights and Sales persons with flashy white teeth telling me i must have this or that gadget because the one i bought last week is no longer 'in'....
