Fujifilm launched its second generation 3D digital camera called the FinePix Real 3D W3. This latest W3 imager is featured with a standard binocular lens system and dual 10mP sensing units to capture video as well as stationary images in three dimensional angles.

The images from both the modes can be can viewed even without using glasses on the 3.5-inch LCD display screen provided on the rear of the imager, or can be observed on a 3D television through the goggles that are supplied along with the TV.
The W3 can be obtained from Harvey Norman and other photo experts.
The camera is so new that overseas reviews are, as yet, few and far between.
Engadget reviews that Fujifilm’s initial version of this 3D imager was not a success and that this subsequent generation model is easy-to-use and is highly concise in size. This imager mimics a point-and-shoot camera from its backside and the intense-definition 720p video resolution meets the VHS standard and it is flickery, mentions the blog site.
Photography Blog notes that with the extended use, the W3 will be able to generate foreground, middle and background components, producing illusive images with depth. The W3 behaves like a common, 2D imager and shows restricted performance in dim light conditions.
