Since we are talking about video, here are my observations…
Fuji has released an update to their W1 3D camera, the W3. Their new 3D camera sports a slightly sleeker interface, larger LCD screen and the capability of 720p video… in 3-D no less! As many of you know, I purchased a Fuji W1 a few months ago and I’ve been snapping 3D photos ever since.
