Fujifilm announces FinePix REAL 3D W3
There hasn’t been a whole lot said about 3D cameras in a while now, but as we enter another holiday shopping season it appears that Fujifilm decided there was enough demand to revisit the concept and come out with an update to its FinePix REAL 3D camera line.
Last July Fujifilm announced the FinePix Real 3D W1, a 3D consumer camera that was capable of capturing 3D images you could look at on the screen, or pay for them to be developed as prints by the company. It was finally released in Oct. of 2009, and that was about the last anyone heard of it. So color us surprised when we learned that not only was a new version being released, but it was getting even more features.
