Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3

These days, quite a few compact cameras take 3D photos, but the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 ($500 as of 3/14/2011) is the most full-featured of the pack. It's the only big-name 3D still camera with two lenses and sensors, meaning that it can shoot 3D video as well as still photos; and while other 3D-capable cameras on the market from Sony, Panasonic, and Olympus treat 3D shooting as an additional scene mode, the 3D capabilities in this Finepix camera are front-and-center. This is a 3D camera first, but it also has a range of 2D shooting modes.
It's also a hard camera to rate, since it's as groundbreaking as it is frustrating. It's the best 3D camera we've tested to date, but it's also in a class of its own and has its share of quirks. For all the points it scores in the innovation and wow-factor departments (a glasses-free display, manual controls over both the aperture and parallax controls, and compose-your-own 3D modes that give you independent control over each lens), it's also not for everyone: The display has both sweet spots and headache-inducing spots, the manual controls are hit-or-miss, and getting the hang of composing your own 3D shots takes a bit of time.
