Just to amplify on what George said:  the main drawback with lenticulars
(at least the ones you can take with the inexpensive cameras) are that the
resolution is poor and the disparities (and thus the depth) are quite small
(the effective baseline is the spacing between adjacent lenses, which if I
remember right is only about 3/4-inch).

They can be fun, though.  Good if you want to be able to give someone one
or two prints without the added expense of a viewer.
