• Edd Fuentes, president of Fuentes Publicity Network, said that this is a major breakthrough.

FujiFilm To Unveil New 3D Camera

Japan's FujiFilm is planning to add a new dimension to photography this year: the third dimension. In the battle to differentiate its products in the competitive digital camera market, the Japanese camera maker has been developing a model that features two identical lenses and image sensors. It snaps almost-identical images that are blended together by a custom chip to produce a 3D image, it said.

The system has been dubbed Real 3D by FujiFilm and can be used for both still images and movies. FujiFilm's system makes use of a 2.8-inch 3D LCD panel on the rear of the prototype camera so viewers don't need special glasses. For display of images the company has also come up with a prototype 3D photo frame that has an 8.4-inch display.

The prototype 3D camera first appeared at last year's Photokina show in Germany and recently made an appearance a the PMA show in the U.S. and Tokyo's Photo Imaging Expo. It's next step will be onto store shelves. FujiFilm plans to launch its first 3D camera in Japan later this year.
