Well, I disagree with the premise here... The process of slide mounting is
not long and annoying... as a matter of fact, it is short and very
enjoyable and makes the best part of the 3d experience for me... and now
they want to take it away from us...  Also, much better pictures are not
taken with modern cameras and, especially, not taken easier with these
cameras.  To do it right you have to switch to manual focusing and have
control at least over the aperture.  The requirements of 3d are such that
they do not favor autofocusing or autoexposure without aperture control.

OK, I'll read the document out of curiocity, but those who are waiting for 
the modern 3d camera instead of grabing a $100 Kodak/Realist now, will be
waiting for a loooong time.
