Buy 3D Digital Cameras

Today's point and shoot 3D digital cameras either use 2 separate lenses to capture two images simultaneously or require the user to sweep as they take the photograph. The market for these 3D cameras is just beginning to develop so the number of options is somewhat limited. It's important to remember that these cameras will allow users to capture both 2D and 3D images.

As you shop for a 3D camera, you will want to keep in mind where and how you will be able to view your images in 3D. Some of these devices have an LCD screen that allows you to view your 3D images right on the camera. Some may provide an HDMI hookup that allows you to view 3D images on compatible 3D televisions. You may be able to view those images on a 3D photo frame or viewer and perhaps be able to print them in 3D.

You will also have to decide which type of 3D photography will meet you needs. Certainly having two lenses makes capturing 3D images a very simple task, but sweeping side to side is not that hard to master. Some cameras on this page offer stereoscopic lenses for 3D imaging, while others offer a 3D sweep panorama mode. However, you'll want to consider the camera and it's features as a whole to decide which is best for you. It needs to have the attributes you want in general; the resolution, screen size, lens, and other technologies.

If you are more interested in a DSLR than a typical point and shoot, there are even fewer options at the moment, although that could change quickly. The Loreo Lens-in-a-Cap can allow DSLR cameras to capture 3D images and of course there are some with the 3D sweep panorama feature.

Another option for consumers looking for 3D digital cameras, is the Sony DSC WX5. This camera has a single lens but using 3D sweep panorama can create 3D images. It is a 12.2 megapixel camera with a backlit CMOS sensor and high sensitivity mode (ISO 3200) to produce outstanding low light images. It features a 2.8" LCD screen, 5x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, and professional grade f 2.4 lens. It's fast, shooting up to 10fps, and has face detection, anti-blink, and smile detection technologies to help you get the perfect shot every time.

The WX5 also has a self-portrait timer, in-camera retouching, photo music, and other effects. You can even creat images with a softened background (Background Defocus) to put the emphasis on your subjects. The WX5 also allows you to capture 1080i AVCHD movies at 30 frames per second.

3D images can be viewed with Sony 3D Televisions via the HDMI output.
