Fuji’s 3D Point-and-Shoot Due In Sept For $US600, Features Smiley Face

No, seriously, once you notice this Fuji’s lopsided, goofy grin, you just can’t unsee it. It beats the concept version’s terrifying death stare, I guess. Anyway: the dual-lensed FinePix Real 3D will land stateside in September, for $US600. Sort of.

Why the qualification? Because the $US600 camera is just part of a new ecosystem, including special plastic-lens-coated 3D prints (expensive!) and an eight-inch 3D-enabled photo frame (also expensive!). It’ll work as a regular 10-megapixel camera as well, though $US600 prices it well out of the “why not” range, especially when compared to the bevy of solid cameras available for much, much less.

    Can you use Vuzix iWear to see the pictures in 3D direct from the camera?
    This would be great! Also show them from my iPhone as well.(not the naughty ones tough!)
    Anyone know what format they are stored in? Anaglyph, Side by Side?
    I assume it does video too?
    Anyone know where I can get a detailed spec on this?

    Interesting but… wondering.

    Will the pictures ONLY be viewable using a Fuji viewer. Will the be able to be converted to 2 dimensional images to be used more conventionally?
