3D Camera: Top 10 Cameras with prices, reviews, and specs

The PX3d camera by Minox may not have been noticed by masses till now. First reason is that Minox is not yet a big name in electronics and imaging, and the second is that they happen to manufacture the smallest cameras in the world.

Minox, thus, came up with this unique 3D stills camera with a reduced design. The array of four 4 x 5 Megapixel 9mm lenses adds to the glitz of PX3D. Each of the four camera modules create four pictures simultaneously, which are then located on slightly shifted perspective planes to create a single 3D image. Multitude of cameras in vertical arrangement renders more depth and clarity to images.

Sony has unveiled its compact digital Cybershot WX5 incorporating the 3D sweep panorama. The camera works with a 12.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. This facilitates low noise, thereby improving image clarity. The high 5x optical G lens with f/2.4 maximum aperture and Superior Auto Mode maximize dynamic range and produce crisp video output. The camera’s rear provides a 2.8 inch LCD screen, 4:3 aspect ratio, and a resolution of 4,608,000 dots.

The Aiptek 3D digital camera captures both 2D and 3D videos in high definition. Featuring two lenses and two 5 Mpixel image sensors, the 3D iS2 can produce high quality pictures and videos. The 2.4” LCD display provides clear preview and playback without any glasses. Also, the software packed with the product enables watching 3D images on your 2D TV, PC, or projector with the help of glasses.

The camera has the ability to capture stunning images by merging each half size of the left and right image to a single final image in 3D. Dual 12 Mpixel high definition interpolated sensors capture two different viewing positions.

Holga camera was initially introduced to the Chinese public as an inexpensive device, but carrying a Holga today proves you to be gadget freak. This 120-3D stereo camera is based on the Holga CFN (Colour Flash) body design. The images shot by two adjacent lenses produce softness and feel in your past reminiscences. The random light peaks add to create a dreamy depth to your 3D photos. The camera comes equipped with a tripod stand, single mask, bulb setting, built in threaded shutter release button, and built in colour flash with rotating filter wheel.

The encased technology of advanced 3D digital camera, stunning 3D digital viewer and 3D printing technology, together change the way you relive your memories. The Finepix W1 uses two lenses and two 10 Mpixel sensors to achieve a stereoscopic 3D effect. It can be used as a 2D camera at the same time with the help of Dual Capturing shooting mode. The large 8 inch 3D picture viewer, called the FinePix Real 3D V1 enables real display of your memories.

The camera reveals 3x optical zoom lenses, built in flash and stereo microphones. A focal range of 35-105mm might seem unremarkable in 2D, but is remarkable in 3D. An infra red port located on top of the camera allows you to transmit or receive images. To enable this, images are compressed by the camera to lessen transmission delay.

Another product featuring three dimensional photography is the new compact Rollei Powerflex 3D. Equipped with a parallax barrier, the two lenses work in synchronization with two 1/2.5” CMOS sensors and at a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944. Videos can be shot at an excellent 1280 x 720 pixel at 30 images per second. The 2.8-inch LCD display boasts a high resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.

The 3D HERO launched by GoPro is the world’s smallest 1080 pixel 3D camera. Its 3D shooting ability has been made possible by housing two 1080 pixel HD HERO cameras into a single case. GoPro Cineform Studio, the 3D editing software included with the HD HERO has the ability to import video from one camera into another, then automatically import the second camera’s video and finally create a blended file for viewing on a 3D display. The new and affordable GoPro 3D HERO produces high quality footage, well enough for such a small package.

Panasonic has announced the new Lumix twin lens 3D digital camera, with complete 3D high definition video capability. It will also shoot 2D photographs and HD video along with capturing 3D photos and videos. The compact size of Panasonic Lumix has been achieved by using two recently developed 4x zoom lenses. These lenses use thin, folded optics and optical image stabilization for shooting 3D content. This enables the device to be highly versatile in capturing real crisp videos and images from a distance with minimum distortion in its quality. The optical zoom enables shooting at a wide angle.

The Lumix twin lens camera allows users to easily switch from shooting photos and videos to viewing mode. Compatibility with other Panasonic products, especially with Viera 3D TV, provides with an excellent display of your shots. It is planned to be released in winter, this year.

The Fujifilm FinePix 3D W3 presents bigger and better quality by allowing high resolution 3D HD shooting. The camera comes equipped with two 10 Mpixel CCD (charged coupled device) sensors and two Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens. Viewing your shoots also gives a larger perspective with a 3.5” LCD screen, as compared to the 2.8” in its previous model. The new Auto 3D mode supplements its users with effortless 3D video capture in stereo audio sound.

All the above astounding features have been combined by Fujifilm in an impressive, stylish, light and compact package. The synchronized control of the two sensors prevents inaccuracy and captures even the finest details clearly. Features like Super Intelligent Flash and Scene Position automatically match the optical settings with the scene producing crisp and real images.

This gizmo offered by 3dinlife captures high resolution images in 2D and 3D. The camera offers dual 2 Mpixel CCD lens system. The wide 2.8” 3D LCD offers auto stereoscopic display of images and movies in 3D instantly, without the need for glasses. Capturing quality images and movies to SD/SDHC memory cards enables futuristic use of your memories for sharing or uploading. A mini HDMI jack offers easy connection with a 3D HDTV compatible device.
