The pictures from this camera are printed on paper that has a lenticular screen covering it. This is the stuff that you see on some cards that you can tilt left and right and see different images. It does work, but you get little vertical ridges on the print.

The good news is that it takes virtually any 35mm film. The bad news is there is only one place left that develops it, and it costs $2.80 per print. That's painful.

But I still wanted one of these to try out. (I used to do a lot of 3D and darkroom work). When you take the picture, it actually produces four images on the film. But, here's the trick to make your camera sort of useful.

Use slide film. Tell the process folks to NOT mount the slides. Just get the roll back. For each of the four pictures, cut off the far left and far right images. Place them into 3D slide holders. You can get those for about $4 for 30 of them. Then, you can place that in a viewer (check ebay for 35mm 3D viewers. They are there). Then you get decent images. Better than the old viewmaster reels because the film is bigger.

If you really want, you can use B&W film and make small prints from the outer two images. Those can be placed on a card and placed in the old style 3D viewers you see from the early 1900s. That works too.

Can it work? Yeah. Worth it? Your call.

This is a Quality-Post to me! Opportunity to actually use the 3d camera. Thanks!

Man, I hope I get one of those cameras. I am soooo going to try to hack the guts of a standby digital camera into that casing.

5x Fact or crap
1x ATI TV Wonder Cards

Where do you get the slide holders? I have my dad's 3D camera from...well who knows, the 30's, 40's or 50's.
I was using it myself until I couldn't get the slides developed and mounted anymore.

Is there a place that still sells the viewers? All my family photos from childhood are 3D. I'm guessing the old heavy viewer with the light in it , is broken by now. I have one newer one (from the 60's) that you hold up to a light.
It would be nice to get a new one.

Sounds like 3 letters have been received. Tough luck for the rest of us most likely.

That's two letters, right? I just realized today that a) although one of the items in my box was a return, WOOT has never sold that item that I can find, and b) Amazon HAS sold it- and now the two are one. All bets are off as to what we will get in our second shipments. As long as it doesn't claw its way out of the shrink wrap, I'll be thrilled. Actually I was pretty happy with the Bowl of Cereal, thankyouverymuch Woot!

Okay, something really weird:
My package tracked like normal, Im not at home now so im not sure if it got there or not, but i just checked my credit card statement and woot refunded the $8 and the order is no longer showing on my account list??
Help, Anybody??

1 Phillips dvr/ vcr player
8 4" dump trucks
1 roomba virtual wall
1 set of Woot lights

The dvd / vcr works perfect. YAY!!!

just arrived

16 air
3 "would you rather" 2010 calendars
2 dented XT Fire extinguishers with ~8 months left on em.
1 Bacon Salt (Expired by a few months)
1 02001 roomba wall
ez-shopper bag

well, at least i got coupons, Bowl of Cereal will probably all get tossed. maybe 6th time is the charm.

Okay, three letters. Stay tuned, anything could happen.

It seems to be dormant for the last 10 weeks or so. I was told by a Woot! staffer that it would be back eventually. No saying when, though.

Too bad, I liked Happy Hour.

For all those receiving Roomba virtual walls, Newegg has refurb Roomba's for $189 shipped, using coupon code: EMCYVNX25

Got my Bushel of Corn today!! After rushing back to the office to get it, my co-workers had a field day with me! They took an old Woot! box and filled it with their own version of "crap" and taped it up... LOL!

My real 6.7 lb box actually contained the following:
10 bags of Texas air - priceless!
3 Fact or Crap Calendars - $7.79/each (ebay)
1 pair of WORKING Woot! Lights - $.99 - $9.99 (ebay)
1 Awesomely Orange Shopping Tote - guessing $5.00
1 Roomba Virtual Wall Item 02003 - $13.00 (ebay)
1 Golf Master Electronic Score Card $19.95 - $29.95 (ebay)

Thank you Woot!!!!! Happy Birthday!

Much the same:

Fact or crap X 3
Shopper Tote X 1
Nishika 3D camera
Disney Camera bag
And my Woot Off Lites

Disappointing crap!
I wouldn't have it any other way!
Yay!

Made it to Northborough, next stop local USPS.

Maintaining weight and dimensions at

12lb 18" x 12.6" x 12.5"

Seems as though the letters are probably all out, but still looking forward to opening my box.

I got the standard:
4x FoC calendar
8x Tiny Tractors
1x Old Lady Bad
1x Lunch Bag thingy
1x Woot-off lights
11 full + 1 empty bags of air

Happy Birthday!

My 5 year old decided he had to make a "Police Castle" and recruited my 7 year old for some artistic assistance. They made the below completely by themselves. I got quite a kick out of it...








Thanks Woot! and Happy Birthday!

This is great!

1 x Nishika 3-d camera

1 x EZ Shopper bag

1 x Active Air Aroma remedies

18 x My personal info PC eraser

4 x Fact or Crap calendars

Not bad. The wife will put the Aroma remedies and the BAg to good use...

It would be nice to get a new one.

Actually, the mounts are not hard to come by. One such place is Rocky Mountain Memories at http://www.rmm3d.com/

Look under the supplies, and look for the slide mounts. It will show a variety. Some are plastic mounts, some cardboard. The plastic snap together, but have registration pins to assure good film clip alignment. The cardborad ones (like regular slide mounts) have a centering frame. The cardboard are fold over design, with either self adhesive or heat seal.

Notice that there are multiple sizes. I would guess these cameras will produce a half-frame. To be sure, open the back of your camera and measure the opening of one of the four frames. I'm virtually certain it will be 16x21mm. But double check before buying. Again, the price is quite reasonable.

As for viewers, I know used ones are on ebay. I have one that is battery powered, but I put a jack in it to take a wall adapter. Simple flashlight bulbs.

If you decide to try this, make sure to hold the camera level. Tilting the camera confuses the eye/brain connection and impairs the 3D effect. Frame your pics with distinct foreground and background objects. The result is really excellent. Viewing the transparency instead of a lenticular image is not as convenient, but it is way better image quality with better 3D depth.

I may check the Woot Trade forum to see if can pick one of these up. If you really get into this, you can buy used 35 stereo cameras (Kodak Realist comes to mind) for a reasonable price on ebay as well.

Here is the contents of the box , and a close up of the letter.
