I’ve been thinking about how to demonstrate the difference between these two 3d “cameras” but it’s not really possible in this 2d format. So it comes down to words I guess. Starting with the screens , despite the fact that both units display a 3d image without the need of glasses the Fuji screen is far superior. The 3.5″ Fuji screen has 1.15Mpixels doubling the HTC’s 4.3″ touchscreen with 540 x 960 resolution.\u00a0 The images displayed on the Fuji are clearer and more colourful. The difference continues with the lenses and sensors,\u00a0 The Fuji has two 10Mpixel 1\/2.3″ CCD behind 3x zoom lenses that provides 35mm equivalent focal lengths of 35 to 105mm.\u00a0 The HTC lens and sensor are a bit of a mystery to me but they are a pair of 5Mpixel units and that is halved again when shooting 3D.\u00a0\u00a0The fact is it\u00a0isn’t much of a contest, the Fuji is better all around but then it doesn’t make phone calls or post to Instagram. The surprise reaction of people who see the 3d image suggests to me that it is still a bit of a gimmick, this is also true because of the difficulty of doing anything with the 3d image. I don’t own any other device to display 3d images so they really are only of interest on the camera itself for now. In a sense when I’m taking 3d pictures I’m hedging that they will be of greater interest in the future.\u00a0 This is almost a truism of all photography as they represent a moment in time that won’t be repeated. I’m just doing it in an extra dimension.<\/p>\n

The first image is down-sampled from the 7Mpixel Fuji file and the second from the HTC’s 2Mpixel file.\u00a0 At full resolution the difference is much more apparent.<\/p>\n

This mix of samples from the two “cameras” are being displayed as animated GIF’s or wigglegrams.\u00a0 The two images are toggling back and forth giving a view as if you stopped time and moved your head from side to side, you can stop time can’t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
