New Fuji 3D camera with 3D HD video
Fuji plans to launch the FinePix REAL 3D W3 digital camera next month while the Japanese electronics company continues to introduce new 3D products.
The latest version of the FinePix 3D camera not only captures still images in 3D, it also includes the ability to record 3D high definition video — an added ability that many W1 owners wanted in the newest model.
Fuji increased the camera’s screen size from 2.8-inches on the W1 up to 3.5-inches for the W3, with native 3D image viewing available. The company also elected to use the same autostereoscopic 3D LCD display so camera owners won’t have to wear 3D glasses. The LCD is 1.5 times brighter and its color depth has been greatly improved, according to Fuji, with the company trying to fix the W1‘s admitted flaws.

The device, which has not yet been detailed by the company, is likely to hit the U.S. after Japan and Sharp said it is already in launch talks with Verizon Wireless.

Electronic books are beginning to gain traction in several technology markets thanks to the success of devices like Amazon.com’s Kindle, Sony’s Reader and Apple’s iPad.

Sharp’s e-book readers will read files in a new version of XMDF (ever-eXtending Mobile Document Format), a format developed by Sharp and used in some of its previous devices.
Also, the new version adds support for multimedia data and will allow audio and video to be embedded into e-book pages.
