-12.1 megapixel image sensor
-Optical image stabilization
-2.7″ LCD screen

It has a useful zoom range and the video function is also good. The camera has RAW support and full manual controls which are big pluses. The only downside is some noise at higher ISO levels.

Photography Blog is very early with a review of the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 compact digital camera. This is the first camera that lets you view 3D images and you don’t need any 3D-glasses or similar equipment. It will interesting to see if this really works or is just a PR-stunt from Fujifilm.

Some key features for the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1:
-10 megapixel image sensor
-3x optical zoom lens (35-105mm)
-ISO sensitivity 100-1600
-2.8″ LCD screen
-42MB built-in memory

Photography Blog ends up giving the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 a “Recommended” 4 out 5 stars rating. The reviewer find it to be a niche camera so if you are interested in stereo photography you should definitely check the Real 3D W1 out. But as a regular digital camera it scores a little low because of noisy images and lack of features. I want anyway give kudos to Fujifilm for going in a new direction.
