3D is hot in the HDTV industry but what about consumer cameras? Fujifilm unveiled plans to release the world's first consumer 3D stills camera as early as September. The principle is simple: the camera has two lenses to take two shots of the same scene with two slightly different angles, the picture can be printed on a special paper with a clear plastic overlay that acts like a lens or viewed on an 8-inch LCD photoframe that displays the two images separately to the left and the right eyes. The camera will be available for $600, the photoframe would cost a few hundred dollars and the prints a couple dollars each.
