FinePix Real 3D W1 Digital Camera

In a recent artice at PCMag.com, the writers said that their “awesome button” got smacked hard by the Finepix Real 3D W1.  For those of you who don’t speak geek, I believe that means that they like it!

They were lucky enough to have one of the cameras to do a proper hands-on review of the 3D technology in particular.  As with any first generation technology, it’s expensive (probably in the ballpark of $649 when released in North America) and has some improvements to be made.  PCMag tested the quality of the 3D images using the screen on the back of the Finepix Real 3D W1 and also by using Nvidia’s new 3D imaging software to view the images on screen.  Using the Nvidia software (currently available for $199) to view the images on a computer monitor requires special 3D glasses, but the reviewers found the 3D images to be sharp and thoroughly 3D.  When viewing on the Finepix screen, they said it made them dizzy after a couple of minutes of viewing, but the pictures still looked great.

The bottom line?  Although the camera is rather obese and probably impractical for the average picture taker, the camera is a technological wonder and would be appreciated by techies looking to get their hands on the newest technology.  Still no word on an official release date for North America, but Nvidia says it will be soon.

The SFGate has told us that Fujifilm will debut the Finepix Real 3D W1 digital camera in Europe starting in October.  It will make it’s triumphant debut at the IFA electronics fair in Berlin.  Although the show is speculated to have lots of discussion about 3D technology, the Finepix Real 3D System will be the only physical 3D product on display.

It is rumoured that the price of the camera will be in the neighbourhood of $499 Euros (or $712 US), which is significantly more than the 50,000 Yen ($542 US) the Finepix fetches for in Japan.

As of today, there is still no official launch date for North America, but it is speculated that it will be in October as well.  If you really can’t wait to own a piece of history, just check out the ebay auctions on the right.

As I reported yesterday, the Finepix Real 3D W1 digital camera had began to pop up on ebay without a release being made official.

It is now official! The Finepix Real 3D System has been released to stores in Japan starting today. The price tag has remained unchanged from previous reports coming in at roughly $600 US.

Although an official release for the rest of the world is still reported at a month away, you can still be one of the first to own the Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W1 camera through ebay.

The Finepix Real 3d W1 has surfaced on Ebay with an average price around $640!  Currently there are 5 listings selling the camera from Japan.  You can view the listings by clicking on my ebay feed on the right side of this page.

This has come as a surprise as there has been no news on the camera being released in Japan.  My guess is that these cameras are demos given to companies to review before the scheduled release (which there has been no announcement for!).

So, if you want to be one of the first to get your hands on the Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W1, click on my ebay widget on the right to be taken to the auction page.

I would love to hear comments from you if you are going to try to purchase one of these or have already bought one.  We would all love to hear about it first hand! DONOTCHANGE

With the ‘apparent’ launch about a month away for the Finepix Real 3D W1, we still don’t have any concrete, reliable data as to an official price and release date for North America.

What we can be reletively sure of is that the release of the Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D System will be sometime in September…pretty vauge, but that’s all we have to work with right now.  As for the price, there have been numerous reports suggesting that the camera and Real 3D V1 picture viewer will set you back about $1000.

The Japan release of the Finepix Real 3D system is supposed to happen sometime this month, so be sure to check my ebay feed as I’m sure some will get auctioned there before the North American release.  As soon as the cameras start appearing on Ebay I will update my ebay feed to show the auctions.

I will be updating my mailing list and RSS feed subscribers as soon as this happens so sign up so you don’t miss out. DONOTCHANGE
