One lens? And it captures 3D? Oh come’ on!
News said it. Samsung has packed in the features in its new flagship NX camera aimed at the prosumer market. The new NX300, shipping in Singapore now, can be fitted with a 45mm 2D/3D lens that claims to be the first one-lens 3D system capable of capturing both still images and full HD movies in 3D.
NX300 comes with a 20.3-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, which promises sharp, life-like colors images that are crisp and clear even in difficult light conditions. The new camera also enables users to share photos with their smartphone/tablet immediately through the Smart Camera app (available on both Android and iOS).
The retro look is just awesome– as long as you can afford the $999! And oh, by the way, did I mention that the 45mm 2D/3D lens is sold separately at $699!!
Will it be really worth it having one? Who’s up for it?
Good luck !

Well of course, any single lens camera can shoot stereoscopic 3D by the cha cha method, which several manufacturers mention in their Users Guides.
And, narrow base stereo can be shot by using both halves of a single lens, as is done with stereo endoscopes and other instruments.
Several years ago, I modified an Aero Ektar lens, which has a very large open pupil glass diameter, for anaglyph stereo, by placing red and cyan filters at the nodal point. Smaller apertures were attained by placing dual waterhouse stops inside the lens, with the apertures coincident with the periphery.
Other methods are available as well, including optical folding.
