I bought this camera to replace one I already had that developed a cracked lens. If you havent done 3-D images before you find this to be a bit of a steep learning curve. Both images and video have quirks on some displays/tv's that you need to adjust for. Making stereo prints is easy using a freeware program. Now the camera... Your first mistake will be covering up a lens with your fingers. Look out for the red warning icon about that. Second mistake will be having the command dial shift to a setting you DONT want! Watch it carefully. Camera takes pictures well. Sometimes the focus doesnt. Images are a bit "soft" compared to an SLR. Good battery life from the rechargeable battery that comes with it. The flash is weak and in the WRONG place, but it is usable. Use the slow sync setting for most pics. Other cameras have the lenses too close together for good stereo separation. The supply will probably run out soon. Fuji has given the word that they are not making any more and are not releasing an updated version.Read full review
If you want to take digital 3-D pictures (or even videos) for viewing on a 3D TV or 3D computer monitor, this is probably you best choice, both for price and features -- at least until some newer 3-D cameras come on to the market. The 3-D images may also be aligned and output to multiple other formats for printing and viewing using free software (not included) that may be found by searching for "StereoPhoto Maker". It makes taking 3-D images as simple as 2D images. It also have has a nice 3-D viewing screen that does NOT require 3-D glasses to see the image in 3-D!
I bought this camera as a toy for making 3D photos and videos and, of course, I knew about it's pure picture quality in 2D mode. But also I knew that it's only one really available real 3D camera at the present time. So, I'm surely satisfied in my purchase. Image quality is not a matter when you use this device just a 3D goodie. Also this camera can show me in 3D mode the pictures converted from stereo pairs captured by my main camera - Pentax K5 - using its MyFinePix software.
Been taking 3D pictures for 50+ years by shooting a left pic then sliding a few inches to the right for the other so this 3D camera is a big step up for me. The camera is as expected but there's no lugs for a neck strap, just a wrist strap, so carrying it around with my regular camera is not the most convenient. This order was missing the memory card and the manual, the 2nd battery wouldn't charge, and the box wasn't in the best of conditions. Bought 2 new batteries and charger for $13, got a 16GB memory card and updated the firmware. She's ready to go capturing the world in 3D!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The Fujifilm FinePix 3D W3 is an impressive camera - far more so than its predecessor. The rear LCD is nice and large, though framing and capturing a good 3D image can be a bit harder than standard photography, its a good idea to get some basic tutorials for 3D photography of the internet. This camera gives great images and is an affordable 3D camera now. It’s not without fault Though: the LCD screen can be effected by sunlight but its great to see your images popping out in-front of you with out those stupid 3D Glasses, Also it can be quite easy to put a finger in front of one of the two lenses. You can plug straight into your 3D tv and view your 3D videos and snapshots in an instant witch makes the sitting down with the family and showing your holiday snaps so more interesting when they come out the screen at you. All in all this camera is a geat 2d camera as well as an amazing 3D camera you can also take 2 images at the same time with different settings. (try doing that with a standard camera)Read full review
