Interesting... Hopefully the stereo mode also takes into account the
changes in lighting as you move ~2.5 inches over. We've got a Kodak
digital camera that we bought last year (my wife loves the Kodak
photo printers, and the camera does surprisingly good images). With
the experiments I've tried, I ended up with major lighting problems
trying to do a 3D picture.
What I'd *really* like to see is someone sell a true digital 3D camera.
