 I think part of that "gutless" quality you're referring to is the fact
 that the digital cameras are designed for a specific path (capture -->
 print (either video or hardcopy)). A slide is a very different thing
 than a print, and the way the colors need to be modified to make it look
 right are not neccessarily intuitive. Guaranteed, however, the colors do
 have to be adjusted.>>

I'm sure that you're right - but how many would-be digital stereographers 
want to really get into digital image manipulation? What I'm suggesting is 
that the digital equipment is still too expensive for adequate performance...

Actually, it's my prediction (that I've been making for a year or two...) 
that in a reasonably short space of time one of the digital camera 
manufacturers will come out with a digital stereo camera which incorporates 
the firmware to output JPS images straight to 3-D viewing devices.

It'll be just like the '50s all over again! With even less input from the 
punters...

Thanks for that - I'll look out for it in my local (UK) bookstores...
