Hi John,

As we say in the U.K.  "I must get my pennyworth of comment in!".   As
someone who actually is at the 'sharp end' of selling,  yet another
stereo camera would have to be something really 'special'  to stand the
slightest chance in the market place.   Just think what you are vying
with:  digital cameras,  slr cameras, compact cameras, and all the very
large camera manufacturers themselves trying to bring new cameras to the
market all the time.

Our three best sellers,  if this can be a guide for you,  is the 3D
MAGIC* (by far and away this outstrips any other stereo camera we've ver
sold),  the LOREO system for those who can't wait!   And the 5050 system
twinned FED-50 cameras that we put together as a kit outselves.

*Enough work to keep our processing machine in Nottingham going full
time.

Think very carefully before trying to bring YET ANOTHER 3-D camera to
the market.

Regards
Tony Shapps
