No need for glasses

A camera
that takes 3D video and pictures without the need for special glasses will go on sale in Europe this September.

Fuji's £570 FinePix REAL 3D W1 camera has two lenses whose images are merged in a single 3D image. If you want you can stump up an additional £390 for a special digital viewing screen to see the image.The V1 display, it's got a 3D / 2D LCD panel with 800 x 600 resolution, supports playback of 3D pics and movies, and supports SD / SDHC.

If you're wanting physical 3D prints, Fujifilm says it'll be providing that service, doing the prints in-house and mail them too you. However at least you will not need glasses to look at your holiday snaps.
The two lenses can be used for some more creative, but old-fashioned 2D photography.

Fujifilm is competing with larger rivals such as Canon and Sony, aims to sell 100,000 units of the new model in a year.
