FinePix Real 3D W1 Digital Camera

According to online sources, North American will get it’s first taste of the Finepix Real 3D W1 early in October.  The article I read said it will be released in Canada on October 1st, but I would also assume it will be available in the United States on that date or sooner.

In terms of pricing, it seems pretty much on par with prices in Japan and the UK.  In Canada the Finepix Real 3D W1 will sell for $699 CDN and the Finepix Real 3D V1 digital viewer will sell for $499 CDN.  Factor in the exchange rate from Canadian to American and you’re looking at $640 USD for the camera and $460 for the digital viewer.

Considering the above prices it would still be economical to purchase the camera from ebay.  Check out the ebay listings to the right and you will see that the prices are lower than the MSRP for the North American markets.

Stay tuned for more updates.

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
