The Loreo is really a great camera to get people started taking 3D 
photos since it's foolproof, has a built-in flash (great for those
indoor snapshots) and you can have your photos back in as little as
1 hour (prints).

However, the quality (although quite good) doesn't come close to a
Kodak Stereo Camera or Realist. But why fiddling around with a damn
complicated camera (no, for a photo-freak it's quite easy - but for
a beginner, setting focus, shutter speed and diaphragm can be quite
a challenge, not to talk about mounting the slides afterwards...) if
you can have a point-and-shoot camera?

Therefore, I recommend the Loreo for those people who would like to
get their feet wet in stereo, and want quick and quite viewable re-
sults. Once they got bitten by the 3D-bug, they'll buy a "real" stereo
camera. Sooner or later.

By the way: I've a few Loreos for sale. Contact me off-list ...
