I just got back from Prague a couple weeks ago. I didn't find any stereo
cameras, but I did buy a collapsable postcard with a stereo view of the
Charles Bridge. These cards are sold at many tourist shops for about 60
crowns (about $2.75 Cdn.), which is kinda steep for Prague. The postcard has
the following info
 MagiCard System J.Vit,
  Copyright 1993
 Rehorova 48,
CZ - 130 00 Praha 3,
tel. + fax: 0042 2 6440536

I'm not sure if this is what you are after, but I thought I'd share it
anyway. Have fun in Prague!
