Isn't the cost per print for 2D photos (film + prints) substantially cheaper 
than lenticular camera prints (even if Kodak Premium processing at Costco 
is used rather than Costco's internal "brand" of processing)?  In terms
of general ease of use, do those lenticular cameras compare well with 
current day point-and-shoots?  Can the lenticular user get their prints
back an hour after taking the photos?  Etc?

P.S. - Most of the lenticular's (say, Nishika's) looked pretty cardboard like
       to me, including Nishika's very own promotional lenticular "prints".  Are
       the other "mass" versions substantially better?
