Not really alternative, but since it is new and "unique" it is also alternative at this time.
A new camera type introduced by fuji.

I wonder if this 3 D technique could be used in rangefinder cameras or micro fourthirds.

A fascinating development for sure.

3D isn't new at all. Stereo-view has been around for over 100 years. Check out my friend's Stero-SLR.

I can tell you nothing is as amazing as viewing slides in 3D.

Sure, it has been around, but not really a hit, commercially.

Fuji obviously did some more than just inventing the wheel new.

The camera has a build-in-processor designed to handle the 2 images.

And I think it comes also with a special software for post processing.

A specially designed printer is also part of it.

Each sensor has 10 MP.

at the last photokina were some really great 3D photos at the
photo exhibition.

the best was a skateboarder who was jumping behind a wall with a big hole in.
the photo was made through the hole which gave it a great 3D effect.

in german computer magazin c't was this or last week a big article about this ...

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I met with Fujifilm Canada last week to go over their fall lineup of cameras and got to play with the new 3D camera. Pretty cool stuff, but not that practical.

On the one side you don't have to wear the silly 3D-movie glasses to view the effect, but then you can only display the 3D picture either on the back of the camera LCD or on a special 3D digital picture frame.

You can read my full impressions here.

I would expect this technology (display-wise) to rely on high-speed, selective crop, alternation of two images at one-half the refresh rate, essentially interleaving.

They probably compare the images and detect the "pop-outs" as the backgrounds will be really similar, but the near-field subjects won't. Then they might combine this interleaving with a polarizing mask on the LCD.

Hmm!
