FujiFilm , a known brand in camera industry , but still not as big as the major players has come out with  a unique Fujifilm_Logooffering which is expected to boosts its position in the market. The company has launched its new FinePix REAL 3D W1, which is the first camera in the world to capture and display images in 3D.

It is a significant piece of advancement in the field of digital photography and the lead has been taken by FujiFilm. Capturing 3D images involves taking two different images on a subject from different angles but displaying a 3D image is the tough part , and this is where the company’s new innovation scores above the rest.

The camera uses two lenses placed at a distance which resembles the distance between the human eyes. The LCD display screen is capable of displaying 3D images , so you can preview the image of the subject on the LCD in 3D even before actually taking the shot and that too without special 3D glasses.

The camera can capture 2D or 3D images up to 10 megapixel and record videos in 2D or 3D mode in vga resolution. you can configure different settings for the lenses and you can shoot same image in different modes using different lenses.
