Photography in one of my avocations too. Last "buy
nothing day" I bought a
Pentax Optio 430RS digital camera for an upcoming trip to Mexico.
To my surprise it has a stereo mode and came with an interesting stereo
viewer. It looks like it will be fun to play with. First you shoot
one pic, move
the camera slightly and shoot the second pic. They are both recorded on one
frame. You then print the pic on a normal color printer which prints the two
images on one sheet of paper.
Interesting... Hopefully the stereo mode also takes into account the
changes in lighting as you move ~2.5 inches over. We've got a Kodak
digital camera that we bought last year (my wife loves the Kodak
photo printers, and the camera does surprisingly good images). With
the experiments I've tried, I ended up with major lighting problems
trying to do a 3D picture.
What I'd *really* like to see is someone sell a true digital 3D camera.
