fujifilm finepix real 3d w3 Customer review 1
Let me start by saying I'm not necessarily a 3d enthusiast, I wasn't all that impressed by Avatar in the theater... I'm not necessarily jumping on the 3d bandwagon because it seems to be the next big thing getting pushed by TV/display manufacturers. I am, however, a PHOTOGRAPHY enthusiast. I consider myself to be a fairly seasoned photographer -- I've got a wide variety of cameras and lenses, am members of some local photography clubs... Creative photography interests me the most. For example I have interest in things like vintage camera equipment, pinhole lenses, Lensbaby lenses, Holga cameras, etc... just all kinds of creative ways to capture things that are maybe outside of the norm.

So while I think of 3d as a gimmicky trend that has been revived by the Avatar movie, I'm also a creative photographer that was very intrigued when I heard about this camera. I bought the camera sight-unseen, basically thinking it was going to be a gimmick. However after seeing the pictures it produces I honestly, truly believe it is not a gimmick and 3d photography is going to be here to stay. It may take a while to catch on, but it's here to stay.

Once you experiment with the camera a bit you'll learn how to get the most of the 3d effect. Taking photos of things that are further away (such as landscapes, distant architecture/buildings where it's difficult to get a sense of depth), the effect is more subtle and less apparent. But taking photos of things that are reasonably close to you, and there are points of interest at different distances throughout the shot (such as a forest with trees at staggered distances away), the 3d effect is much more apparent and can be quite stunning. Either way, with a subtle 3d effect for things further away, or for a much more apparent 3d effect on things that are closer, it truly does add another dimension to your photography. You see things in the photos almost the way you do in real life.

Like all things this is just another creative tool to add to the toolkit. There are lenses for certain jobs, and there are cameras for certain jobs. The images this camera produces really have to be seen to be believed. I, as well as several others I have shown the images to, am really shocked at how well the 3d looks and am still trying to wrap my head around it and when I might want to use this new tool.

Here are my pros and cons:

Pros
---
- Reasonably compact for what it is. It's more compact than I expected. Have to keep in mind it is basically 2 cameras in 1. Most of the cameras I use (SLR's) are not nearly as compact as this so this really feels like a treat to carry around.
- Battery life in my experience has been excellent. I've seen other reviews say the battery life isn't good. I've found that not to be the case. I didn't even fully charge the battery it came with and it's lasted for hours of me messing around and testing the camera out.
- The 3d effect, when used appropriately, is really stunning.
- Camera boots up reasonably quick for a compact.
- Can easily switch between 2d/3d modes, can view 3d photos in 2d, etc.
- Can do some creative 2d photography -- having both lenses using different settings for 1 shot.

Cons
---
- You have to hold the camera in a somewhat unnatural way in order to keep fingers from getting into the shots. The lenses are both on the outer sides of the front of the camera. This is a trade-off that I completely understand as they have to have the lenses apart to get the 3d effect but also wanted to keep the camera compact.
- I've had poor results when using the Macro (close-up) functionality.
- Not a fault of the camera, but until 3d is widely adopted it will be difficult to share these photos with anyone the way they're meant to be seen.
- Prints are on the expensive side at $6.99 for a 5x7 print
- Prints are only available in 5x7. I really wish there was a larger variety of sizes available. I don't expect to get gallery-sized prints, but a little bigger than 5x7 would be nice.

So is the camera perfect? No. It's obviously a new technology and is only going to continue to get better. But for where it's at right now I am really thrilled with the camera overall and that's why I gave it 5 stars. This camera really does add a new dimension to photography that has sparked a creative bug inside of me that I haven't felt in a long time.



* UPDATE 10/4/2010 - I've got a couple observations after having spent a few weeks with the camera, taken some video, AND I just got my first order of prints.

Picture quality - I, like many other reviewers, have been "wowed" by the way the 3d pictures look on the camera's built in screen. I will agree with that 100%, however, being critical about the picture quality after reviewing it on a PC, it's really not that great. Don't get me wrong, the 3d effect is absolutely fabulous, but don't be fooled by the results you see on the camera's tiny display -- this is essentially 2 mediocre cameras stuffed in to 1 body. I can't say enough how cool the 3d effect is but the images on their own are on-par with about any other cheap point & shoot digital.

Video - very impressive. I took some video from the top of a waterfall (looking down). Stunning.

Prints - This is one area where I think a lot of other reviewers have not yet covered. I ordered 3 prints. They only come in 5x7 size. I tried to order somewhat of a variety of types of shots, just to get an idea of how they look on paper. I had no idea what to expect. Let me start by saying the prints come on a really thick paper, and it has those ridges on it -- you know, kinda like those scratchy 3d things where you can turn them to see 2 different images. Not QUITE the same, but pretty similar. Just due to the nature of the paper it is printed on a lot of the detail can be lost. So that said, I got 3 prints. Portrait - decent. Close-up shot - not good. Nature shot - awesome. The nature shot I took was from a bridge overlooking a river, with trees and such overhanging the edge of the river. The 3d effect was quite pleasing and I am excited about ordering more prints for this type of shot. Now my sample is only 3 prints, but perhaps this advice will serve someone else well. The 3d effect on the camera doesn't quite turn out the same way on a print for all types of shots.

I am a long time fan of 3D and a geek, this camera was an excellent fit for me. It produces very clear, perfect 3D images with good depth. The 3.5 inch screen on the back is very High resolution (1.15 million pixels) and Displays 3D without the need for Glasses. The screen is suitable for Viewing 3D and can display a nice 3D "pop out the screen" effect if you compose the shot correctly. Everyone that has seen the camera's screen is amazed at the quality and 3D effect. There is nothing on the market to compare with this Fuji W3 at the moment, AIPTEK has a low end $200 3D camera and Panasonic has a $1400 3D HD video cam.

This is a good addition to anyone who has a 3D HDTV or 3D projector, considering there is very little to watch in 3D at the moment. The Footage looks very good on the big screen. I am watching it on a 100" projection Screen with Nvidia 3D vision Glasses and the effect is amazing. The Best 3D I have ever seen on the consumer market.

The price tag is a little high, it still makes great sense for anyone that has invested in a 3D TV and shutter glasses. 3D and 2D may also be displayed on a TV using the built in HDMI port on the Camera (adapter required)
Fuji also offers an expensive 3D printing service that will print 3D photos for about $7 per 5x7 print.

Videos are recorded in resolution up to 720P in 3D or 2D. They look sharp and clear. They may be converted to work with Youtube 3D very easily using the FinePix Studio software that comes with the camera. Youtube 3D let's people watch your videos in various 3D formats, with or without glasses.

I am overall very pleased with the W3

Cons:
1. Battery life is ~1 hour - Buy a couple spare batteries - they are as low as $4.00 on Amazon
2. 3D Shooting distance should be no less than 4 feet in auto mode, anything that comes in closer than 4 feet should be small and centered, it may even pop out of the screen!
3. Buy a medium - large case, the camera is a little large for a point and shoot.
4. Format the memory card once you install it, I ran into issues with videos cutting off until formatted.
5. 3D is not for everyone! Avoid the W3 If you cannot tolerate 3D..
6. The screen must be in the center of your field of vision for the 3D effect to work.
7. Video recordings cut off at 11 Minutes in HQ mode and begin a new recording. May be stitched together with software. Video Frame rate is very respectable for a flash recorder but not perfect, way better than the AIPTEK.

I have some movies on youtube 3D - converted with Stereo Movie Maker, search for JJROBOTEK FUJI

I must say that I love this camera. I followed the W1 when it first came out and was waiting for it to be offered direct to the U.S. and not be an imported item from Japan. From what I have read the improvements are nice (but not significant - at least for what I have used).

I bought this specifically to go on a trip to Civil War Battlefields and take pictures. I got the camera a few weeks ahead of time and started taking pictures right away. Prior to the trip I took took about 200 hundred pictures to get used to it. During the trip I took an additional 1451, so I feel that I have a pretty good feel for its abilities.

Pro's:

As many have stated, the 3D ability is second to none. I liked being able to carry it easily (I bought a small case that attaches to my belt). The screen is large and bright and the controls are easy to learn (I have only used Canon cameras before). It worked really well when you follow the suggestions of having your principal subject about 4-8 feet and then one or two more rows of depth behind. I also found that it worked well when I am shooting down on something. An image I took on the first day of a fire hydrant shot from above at a 45 degree angle is fantastic and I was just playing, but at that angle there is something all the way from top to bottom.

The 3D lens is amazing. It is so cool to show it to people. I have not had one person that realized that I was taking 3D pictures until I showed them and all of them were just blown away with the results. Even after 1500+ images I am still thrilled with that feature.

At first my macro shots were terrible. Others have mentioned poor results. My desire was to try shooting my keyboard from close up. Since it has two lenses I got a view in one image of the left keys and in the other the right side of the keyboard. Obviously not what I wanted. I did not think that I would be able to use it for macro work until I found the Advanced 3D option. At first this seemed kind of pointless. The "advanced" mode only shoots images from one lens (left) and then you have to manually move the camera to take the next image. I could not believe that this was the "advanced" mode, the neat thing about the camera was the ability to do both lenses at the same time. When I applied it to macro mode though it really shined. I took a few coins and put them on the table and took an image and then moved the camera very slightly and took the next image. Using the adjustment feature to adjust alignment I got a stunning image of coins that looks like I had giant coins made for the picture! Since then I have done a lot of macro work and with careful attention to detail you can get amazing results.

I have used the movie mode, but only on a limited basis as it is not as much fun since you can not zoom and moving around makes you dizzy in 3D. The movie mode is good and works well for what it is, I just do not have that much experience.

I have found that when you take a picture it is a good idea to press the shutter 1/2 way, the image will "jump" to a 3D view and you can then frame the subject easier than if you just clicked it. Several times this has saved me from cutting off parts of my subject.

I also really love the flash. I can take a flash image and be ready for the next flash in 2-3 seconds. My Canon is much slower between shots.

2D and 3D at the same time! When you take an image, you get both a regular JPG and a 3D (MPO) format at the same time. While it is possible to turn this to save space on your memory card I find it invaluable to use to find a specific image (2D and 3D will have the same name with different extensions).

Cons:

The screen can be VERY difficult to see in bright light. I know this would defeat the purpose of 3D, but it would be nice to have a small view finder that you could put your eye up to in addition to the screen when the light is too bright. Many other cameras suffer from this same thing, and I have always bought ones that gave me a view finder option. Since there is no other 3D cameras, that was not an option.

Supplied Memory. The camera does have a built in memory but it will only last for 3-4 pictures at the largest setting. I bought a 16Gb card and have been very happy with it, but be prepared to get a card if you don't have one. To access the memory card you need to open the battery compartment this can be a little clumsy.

2D image quality. While I purchased this solely for the 3D features I was surprised at just how poor the 2D images are. I love the 3D feature, but would be sending it back if I purchased it for it's 2D ability.

Battery. Some love it some don't. I think the battery is a bit under powered. I purchased two backup batteries and often go through all of them in one day. So far (thankfully) I have not drained all of them before I had the chance to recharge. If you use flash a lot (and 3D images are best with a lot of light) you might want to pick up a few extras.

Supplied software. This is THE most useless piece of the Camera. I installed it but could not get it to show me the image in 3D! Fortunately I had Stereo Photo Maker(SPM)installed and it does wonders. I set it as my default for MPO files and I love it. I would recommend this free download for anyone with this camera. There is also a Stereo Movie Maker (same source), it works well, but is tricky to install and I do not use the movie mode that much.

The strap can be a problem. While it is nice and comfortable, it is very loose around the wrist. I actually had it slip off and drop three feet to a concrete floor (thankfully no damage). I would like to see something similar to my Canon that has a little adjustment piece that lets you tighten the strap on your wrist after you slip you hand through.

Saving/Not saving certain settings. I took a number of pictures on a tripod (inside museums) and used the 2 second delay feature. As soon as you take a shot it immediately disables this feature. That means if you are taking a series of shots you need to reset the timer every time. If you are trying to do time lapse this can be really frustrating since activating the timer bumps the camera from your desired position. I would like the feature to be active until I change it or shut the camera down. Certain other features stay even after you turn the camera off. For example the flash setting stays off until you manually change it. Nice that it did not follow the logic of the timer delay, but would have been nice if it reset when you turned the camera off. If you turn off the 3D mode it will stay off, it is a one press of the button, so it is easy to do. Movie mode is the same way.

Dial slips. A few times I found the dial slipped from the last time I took it out of the case and started it. This is annoying and caused a few missed shots.

ASA settings can be set differently for each setting of the dial. I found it crazy that I kept having to check what my settings were since they were not global to the camera.



Along those lines, it would be nice to have a remote fire option so I don't have to bump it at all. Wireless would be nice, but even a small cable would be fine.

It is easy to put your finger in front of the lens. This was my #1 reason for wasted shots. Fortunately I had gotten in the habit of holding it between my index and thumb and not gripping it on the sides like most cameras by the time I left for my trip. I did make a few mistakes, but not many.

Tripod mount is off center. Due to the placement of the battery and memory card the mount for the tripod is way off center. I do a lot of panorama work with my 2D cameras and considered doing it with this camera, but the placement of the mount is so far off that will be very difficult.

Zoom. Forget it, this is only a 3x lens. The 3D effect still works well at 3x, but you just can not get close enough. I would like an 8, 10 or 12 x optical zoom. The zoom should also be able to work in movie mode

LCD photo frame price. As of this date (October 2010) the photo frame to show images in 3D is $500! Get it to $100 and make it bigger than 8". Also, printing is difficult to find you have to use their "seehere" website and then instead of using the "prints" option you have to use "photo gifts" area to find 3D prints. I actually had to submit a help ticket to find it. Guess they don't sell a lot of images, just cameras.

Rating:

I rated this down to a 4 for two reasons:

1. The screen can be nearly impossible in bright sun. Several shots were wasted because I could not properly frame the subject.

2. 2D image quality (while not the primary use) is poor. Since the images are essentially made of a pair of 2D images I would like the lenses to be better. This is listed as a 10Mb camera, but if you want to use it in wide screen mode (default option) the camera will be lowered to a 7Mb image. In the 10Mb mode it chops it off in the viewfinder (traditional 4x3 image ratio). You think it would be 10Mb for widescreen, but its not. When I look at the results of the left and right image seperately I notice that one is slightly out of focus with the other. You don't notice it till you go to 100% of image size, but it becomes obvious when you have to manually align images.

I purchased a Fuji FinePix 3d camera from Big Value through Amazon. When the product arrived, it had a European Style plug on the battery charger that does not fit into a US outlet. I purchased a european to us adapter that solved the problem. Big Value fairly compensated me for my troubles when I contacted them.

Just got my camera last week. 3D Cameras are definitely a cool experience and the W3 is definitely a high-quality pick. I bought mine knowing that we might not have great technology for displaying this photos today, but one day the tech might be better and I'll be happy that I recorded these moments with two lenses.

The screen (while not perfect) is very nice and sharp. Things appear very lifelike in the pictures when done right. It can be tricky to take a photo that shows up well, but the dozen or so I've taken so far that have come out well look amazing. My friends and family are blown away when they see them on the screen. It's not about crazy "things popping out omg", it's about, the subtle bit of depth that you get in people's faces for portraits, group shots or pictures of objects just makes it feel like you're looking at the thing in real life. It's really something special that helps you remember the moment more than any flat 2D shot.

Downsides of course, battery life isn't terribly long so never forget your charger at home. I guess that's what happens when you're running two cameras in one and have a parallax barrier screen / a price of having early tech. Also, you will totally go cross-eyed if you look at these pictures for too long. When taken improperly, some photos will come out so awful it'll give you a headache to just look at them. I recommend turning on 2D mode or just closing one eye and then disposing of those ones.

In summary, if you're looking for a new primary use-for-every-picture-you-take camera, this isn't it. But if you've got a few hundred bucks to blow and you want to capture moments in as true to life form as possible today, pick this up - you won't be disappointed!

First of all, I've been taking 3D photos for a while before getting this camera using the 2-shot 1-camera (cha-cha) trick, so I'm not new to stereophotography.

Anyway... this thing is really a leap forward. The screen itself reminds me of something out of Star Trek - stuff can really pop out at you, and it makes it a lot easier to be sure you're getting great 3D shots.

As long as you learn the feel of it, and work with it, you can't go wrong with this camera. 2D is just lifeless. :op

Pros:
* Unlike another 3D cam I was looking at, this has a 3X optical zoom. The 3D effect works up to about 3/4 zoom (at max zoom, there's not enough parallax for 3D, so it's understandable - your eyes wouldn't work, either).

* A sliding lens cover makes this great to put in a pocket, without fear of messing up the lenses.

* The camera has a physically sturdy build. It doesn't feel cheap at all.

* It has a flash, not some dumb LED.

* The screen will - speaking loosely - make you trip balls. It's like nothing I've ever seen before, with that no-glasses 3D effect. It's so good, it doubles as a viewer to pass around, and is bigger than the screen on many pocket TV sets!

* Overall, for stills, this thing is king. A lot of fun, and great photos.

Cons:
* While great for stills, the video mode isn't the greatest; 720p looks like 480p on some other cameras. If you want this for mainly video and not stills, you might look at something else.

* Depending on how you want to display them, the videos can require a great deal of processing.

* The battery charger came with a European plug attached (I live in the USA), and no instructions on how to remove it. Though I was able to figure it out (use a small screwdriver to push the little tab in on top, then pull the plug away to expose the North American prongs), it's certainly possible some people might break the charger trying to get the stupid Euro plug off.

* If you don't hold it right, you'll get a finger over the lens! So you have to train yourself.

In my opinion this camera is the vest available 3D camera in the market, it take true 3D pictures and video, the only issue is to reproduce the 3D videos in an 3D TV because the avi format is not supported to be read by the TV itself by any of the Samsung, Sony or LG 3D TV where I test it, but the 3D pictures in MOD format are supported fine by the 3D TV.

I had been shooting 3D images using a slide bracket on my tripod but I wanted to be able to get 3D action shots so I decided to give the Fuji W3 a try. I find this camera very easy to use. The quality of the 2D shots are not what I get from my Sony NEX 5 but I would not expect them to be. I usually carry both cameras with me.
I am quite satisfied with the camera. It does exactly what I was looking for.
The only con I have with it is that it is so very easy to put a finger on one of the lenses, especially when you are showing a photo to someone with the camera.
I was going to put up a photo I shot but cannot see how to do that.

The camera by itself is good , but the operation manual attached with the package is not comprehensive enough to indicate all camera features to the users. In some cases, it refers to detailed description in the page no. 29, while last page no. in the manual itself is up to page 26 only !!!
Regardless the incomplete information of the manual, the viewing angle of the 3 D pictures on the camera monitor is very limited. So that, in order to see the 3 D pictures, the viewer's eye has to be 90 degree exactly with the display level

I've had this camera only a few weeks, so my review will evolve over time. My computer use is primarily Mac based, but I do have an older cheap PC tower.

This camera cannot be used in 3D mode on a mac. You can however edit and use 2D photos and videos just fine on the mac with existing software and included software. To access the 3D files on the camera with 3D data intact as of today it needs to be done on a PC using XP, Vista, or Win7. It comes with a pc program called 3D photo studio, which comes missing a motion jpeg encoder/decoder. It comes with a demo version of someones driver that has a built in delay and watermark, so technically, to use the software on a PC in 3D mode, the software is missing a required driver, which is expensive to purchase outright. Without this decoder the included software will not function, period. Essentially, this camera comes with defective software, and there is no upgrade or fix that does not cost you additional money (I think it is in the range of $75)

With this software you can change 3D videos and stills to a format usable on services like youtube.

This camera will connect to a modern 3D TV if you purchase a mini HDMI to HDMI cable and play the stills and videos on your TV. The ones I made and watched on TV look fantastic. I also own an Aiptek 3D camera and the quality of this camera far exceed the Aiptek camera.

Many reviewers suggest, and I agree, it is best to use this camera with some sort of stand because it is so so easy to accidentally put your fingers in front of the lenses.

Putting the camera in silent mode also shuts off the flash!?? Huh? I guess they think the little pop sound of the flash makes too much noise?

There is one software update available from Fujifilm so far. I tried to do it, but could not make it work. The update has something to do with "economy mode" which I also have not encountered yet. I did read whole chunks of the manual that comes on the CD with the camera, and it is littered with missing info and circular loops that go nowhere (ex: see page 95 for lens info, but on page 99 it says see the referring page). There is a decent user group on yahoo groups.

Otherwise I am pleased with this camera. I bought my first one from DP's Elite Exports but returned it because the image sensor was badly damaged, so be careful if you purchase a discounted camera because there are many out there for sale that are defective but being re-sold and re-sold.

Fuji gets 5 stars because nobody else has a camera like this yet. Kudos to them for blazing this new ground alone. This 2nd gen W3 camera is a huge improvement over the W1 but still needs some work to be functionally better. Pair this camera with a 3D TV or you're missing out on most of the enjoyment of the full 3D experience. If you ever looked into a 3D ViewMaster and said "Wow," buy this camera and never look back.

The Good:
1) 3D images!
2) Plenty of pixels. In fact too many pixels. All you need is 1920 x 1080.
3) Large rear 3D screen for viewing without 3D glasses. Quite impressive.
4) Uses standard SD memory cards that also work in my Nikon, not proprietary or odd like xD was.
5) Plenty of built-in and user adaptable settings.
6) If you understand ISO settings you know that the lower the ISO the better for HQ images and this camera can do it (@ISO 100). Higher ISO settings = grainier images. Its a trade-off. Don't complain that the camera can't take good pictures if you don't understand how to use it.
7) Solid quality build. Thick metal lens cover. Not plasticky.

The Bad:
1) Macro is unusable with the present lens configuration. Each lens is so close to the subject in Macro mode that it sees a completely different area that may not even overlap at all for 3D.
2) Don't zoom in on anything close either for the same reason. Zooming in on distant objects is okay.
3) The lenses don't converge (angle inward like your eyes would) for close-in shots. This explains #1 and #2. There is an auto/manual convergence setting in the camera which works for subjects >4 ft away which basically just changes the overlap between the images and is not a true convergence adjustment. If the lenses on this little gem would pivot inward as you focus closer they would have a dream 3D closeup camera too.
3) Included software is not like using Photoshop. Nuff said. Hey, its free. If you are geeky enough you'll find free or cheap equivalents on the web for now. Or simply do like me and punt it for now. Eventually we will be rescued with a Photoshop plugin.
4) Silent mode is not just silent; it also turns off the flash. This one had me baffled at first because the flash wouldn't fire. They should call it stealth mode instead. To turn off the tinkly, obtrusive sounds simpy go into the menu and turn the volume to zero for each one instead.

User hints:
1) Crop in your viewfinder because later (software) is not easy. You won't do it.
2) Use 1920x1080 image size because of #1. You can only see HD video size on a 3D TV anyway. Forget saving big file sizes for printing like we normally do. Fuji's printing service is $$$ and is mostly a novelty for now. Let's face it, 3D photos are not for printing on a 2D sheet of paper.
3) Take advantage of the user configurable controls to speed usage.
4) Best 3D shots are with multiple subjects between 4 and 20 ft away. The more subjects at different distances within this range the resulting image will look more 3D like.
4) Buy a 3D TV at the same time. If you are unsure, just take your 3D photos on a USB memory stick (or your memory card and USB reader and USB cable) into your local TV store and plug it into a new model 3D TV (like LG), put on the 3D glasses, step back 12 feet and observe. You'll freak.

I actually purchased this more for it's video functions than it's picture function. And though the video record quality is kinda ugly, as expected from such a small camera with small lenses. The pictures that are taken with this thing are absolutely amazing!

Simply owning and operating this camera has given me a crash course on making good 3D pictures and videos.

The LCD screen makes your pics look amazing but can be occasionally deceptive as far as the 3D effect goes. What I mean, there may be a situation or two where you take a picture and it looks pretty good (stereoscope-wise), but when you see it on a full screen TV or monitor with 3D capability, you get eyestrain up the ying-yang!

Fortunately there are free-to-download programs that can fix that.

Great for beginners, professionals may want to keep browsing as pics look good in daylight situations, but the picture quality is only as good as cameras of similar or lower prices with similar lens sizes and can get incredibly pixelated in low-light situations.
