[photo-3d] Advice for wannabes

["Howard Wade" <HWADE@xxxxxxxx>]

I showed my Hawaiian vacation slides to a friend today. I got a 
response you've all heard, "These are the greatest photos,
why would 
anyone take anything else? I want to do this. Can you tell me what I 
need to get and do to do this?" This is the point I begin
stuttering 
around and looking a little wild-eyed. This isn't someone
who's going 
to go buy a Realist and Red Button on e-Bay, learn about apertures, 
depth of field and hyperfocal distances. She isn't going to be 
mounting her own slides. 

She wants a point and shoot camera with which she can take pictures 
that are developed at Costco or Joe's Drugs in a form that she
can 
show to friends and family, in glorious 3D. Discovery Stores, where 
are you when we need you. I hate to just blow people off when they 
show a sincere interest, but what would you recommend for them to get 
started in as simple and successful way as possible?
