After almost 9 months of waiting for the latest in 3D digital camera technology, my wait is about over. The brand-new FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera from FUJI will soon join my collection of stereo 3-D cameras and surely relegate them to the back of my camera storage cabinets. Cameras in my collection like the vintage Russian Sputnik, the LOMO 3D, my (4)KODAK Stereo cameras, and my collection of over a dozen Stereo Realist cameras will finally get a rest as my new FUJI 3D joins my stables.
The FUJI FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera is the first digital 3D camera manufactured by a major camera manufacturer, ever - so I HAD to have one. In addition to the incredible still images I've seen produced by the the new W1, it'll also record video footage in 3D.
I've got several 3D books greenlighted and have just been waiting for delivery of the FUJI W1 3D Camera to start shooting and editing.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta www.BalloonFiesta.com opens this coming weekend, October 3rd and I hope to be on the field with my new FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera for the Mass Ascension on opening day.
The new FUJI FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera has the capability to display 3D images and 3D video WITHOUT needing any special glasses. But, you'll need to get your red/blue glasses ready and watch this blog site for anaglyph versions of 3D photos from the 2009 Balloon Fiesta.
I'll also be using the FUJI FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera in my work with Route 66 Photography and offering 3D photography for celebrity, real estate, product, and special event photography.
Thanks again to the folks at FUJI for giving us 3D capability in a digital format!
Best,
Steve Snowden
