As good as it is now for the Image Tech products, at least. There are
currently several of places worldwide processing TDIT format, in the 
US, Image Tech, Ritz Camera among others. Ritz has their own processing
machines, some others are just collection points.

Hard to say ;)

Image format is the same as the "3D Magic", "3D Magic Plus", "3D Wizard",
and "3D 1000" - three consective half-frame images.

As far as adaptability to slide film, remember that this is an inexpensive
model targeted at the point-n-shoot crowd, not at serious photographers.
It's got a $35 price target, for cryin' out loud ;)  So it has a fixed
shutter speed and aperture, and of course no exposure metering. Lenses
are plastic (same ones as in the "3D Magic".
