No reason to close out others from 3D photography.

Actually he'd be a good endorser for that product. He gets product into
the hands of the young,just by endorsing.

Anybody who isn't selfish and territorial would care I should think.
Anyone who understands that more product sold, means more money for
research and development.
The more people who have 3D equipment, the more diverse 3D imageswe will
have to view, everywhere. I'd rather see 3D go commercial than to see it
hidden away to  1% or less of the world.

Wrong........ahhhhhhhgt!
Just about any bozo can take a 3D picture!
It's not much more complicated really, unless you make it that way.
That's the best thing, with todays point and shoot 3D 35mm cameras, just
about anyone can have fun with this.

Actually 3D needs more exposure! There is a reason why something is
exploited usually....it's not only because somebody's making money...it's
because people dig the product and want it, which is good it gets more
input in on the productso we can get newer better cheaper product out.

No, let's hope that this field is kept aliveand expanded upon by anyone
and everyone interested in it.
