Pioneers in digital imaging, Fujifilm is trying to get some market share back by announcing that by the end of the year they’ll be releasing the world’s first 3D digital camera for consumers. The groundbreaking camera sets new rules in a market that seems to be saturated with megapixels upgrades. It uses two lenses (spaced out just like the human eyes) to take two simultaneous photos of the same scene from different angles and combines them into one using the company’s FinePix Real 3D System technology.
Although the new FinePix Real 3D System won’t require 3D glasses or stereoscopes for the “depth” factor, the camera offers two viewing options — first one is an 8-inch LCD screen that works like a digital picture frame, while the other one is a 3D digital printsthat use a crystal clear plastic overlay to act as 3D lens.
Meant for a debut this summer in Japan (with the European and the US release in September), the 10-megapixel 3D camera will cost around $600, while the picture frame several more hundred dollars. As for 3D prints, Fuji doesn’t know for sure how much to charge, but we think it’s going to be a couple of dollars.
