This is not available till now, though it is not impossible to creat. all so called 3d cameras are not real till now, a real 3d camera should display instant 3d pictures,which should be viewed without any eye aids, should be easy to display on a normal film ( or paper ), and should be processed without any computer tricks.

Aside from that, the put-downs above of the camera, of film, and of 3D, are ignorant. My meter became disfunctional after a few rolls.

If you think film is lame or film is dead then you just reveal your cluelessness about photography. If film was dead, why would Kodak and Fuji still be doing R&D and issuing new, improved products. Clearly, you have never seen a medium format stereo pair. They are stunning. Mind blowingly awesome. The images this camera creates are like actually being there. No other 3D image display technology can beat medium format stereo slides. If you think 3D is anaglyphs or cross-eyed viewing of an image on an LCD monitor, then I'm sorry for your ignorance. If you are willing to invest some time, you can get similar images using this, less expensive camera: http://rafcamera.com/stereo/sputnik.htm If you are willing to learn to do some chemistry, you can develop the slides yourself (it is not as hard as people might tell you) for about $2 a roll. Have fun! This camera creates medium format stereo pairs. If you think film is lame or film is dead then you just reveal your cluelessness about photography.

If you'll remember the tiny slide film on viewmasters is about the size of the old negatives on disk cameras, these negatives are bigger than Imax negatives ! It's actually an incredibly stunning result. I bought a viewer and a 10 pack of stereo slides from them a year or so ago and it is very impressive. If you have red/blue anaglyph 3d glasses like from the Spy Kids 3 or Sharkboy movies you can see 3d pictures for free that I've taken at my site: http://www.3d-pictures.com I use a custom digital rig and can also do traditional stereo pairs, which are superior to anaglyph (since they don't filter colors) but anaglyph glasses are more accessible to the masses with simple cardboard glasses.

Its basically like a twin lens camera like the old Rolleiflex except it has an extra taking lens. Some of us prefer film. It has a different look. The third lens on top is the viewing lens.

The 3rd lens is used for validation.

It's extremely difficult to alter an analog photo without it being noticed: not so with digital. Unless something comes along which changes that, analog photography will be around for a bit longer.

The pics were kind of weird but cool. They had lots of depth and could have been an interesting project if I had more time and money. The camera was sold at Wal-Mart and you had to mail it away to get the pics processed. By the way it also had three lenses. I think their arranged by near, mid range and far giving you a full depth of view. In the past I've used a disposable 3d camera. The pics were kind of weird but cool.

FILM, as in one chance at a shot, expensive to develop, and getting rarer. If it were digital, maybe. But FILM? Film is dying. Radiology departments are almost all digital, and are certainly distributed that way. Movies are quickly becoming digital, and are certainly distributed that way. New media is all digital anyway, and -- yep -- certainly distributed that way. Did I mention the 3-D montrosity is a FILM camera? :) This is a FILM camera.
