This September, Fujifilm is releasing the first 3D digital camera on the U.S. market aimed at consumers. (The camera first arrives in Japan this summer.) The 10 megapixel 
FinePix Real 3D System uses dual lenses to create stereoscopic images, at about the same size as current handheld digital cameras. The price? $600.
You’ll need one of two Fujifilm-made options to view the resultant images. One is a special 3D digital picture frame that creates the stereoscopic effect with its LCD screen; the other option is 3D prints made with a clear plastic overlay that acts as a 3D lens. Fujifilm has plans in the works to launch an online service that will create these 3D prints on demand. Fujifilm is hoping that these prints will start at less than $5 a photo.

I want to see a preview of this camera. I don’t have idea how a 3D camera works.
It looks just like Sony’s DSC-T200, through DSC-T900 line of cameras, which happen to be cheaper and take very decent photographs.
