... and only for stationary subjects.

Well, I have a 2.3 Megapixel 3D-Camera and the results are really 
acceptable if you just want to have prints. With on-line print services 
such as altiplano.com, you can get very decent quality. Needless to 
say that the current resolution is not good enough to be compared to a 
crisp slide - but if the development continues the same speed as 
recently, we'll be able to have adequate quality within 4 or 5 years.
