Judging by the latest industry report for December, the camera industry is far from dead. In fact, it has made a significant rebound. Seeing the return of in person electronics (including camera) shows speaks well for the demand of products.

ALL stock prices are in the tank. Up and down. Can't go by stock prices. The millennial generation is finding newfound fun with film cameras and check out the response to vinyl records and record players. There is a glimmer of hope.

I just bought a Nikon Z9 and couldn't be happier with what this camera is capable of. I am challenged to learn more as it is a complex, modern engineering marvel. I hope to see the fruit of my labor as time goes on.

I had all these, but they now are long gone, unfortunately. The stereopticon equipment originally was my grandmother's. I don't recall the manufacturer of the camera. I always have been most interested in such things. At one time I had a system which produced very realistic holograms. It was similar to the much more sophisticated equipment used to protect presidents when they were making speeches in public. (The success rate in assassination of holograms was quite low!!!)

Purchase of what? So far one contributor implied that 3d has hit the digital age? But has it? Do you know more about this? Or are we back to film and ViewMaster and other film cameras and viewers?-------------

Did you click on the link in his post?

Here it is again:

Their number 1 pick is a Fujifilm 3D twin lens digital camera available from Amazon for $336.

Oops...that link above is for the Fujifilm camera from Amazon.

Go back to the first post from RealNikonLover and click on his link for the reviews of a few 3D cameras.

I haven't always read every post on UHH, but most of them -- have you ever written anything kind/not derogatory here? Who really needs the attitude adjustment??? How can you derive your looked-for satisfaction when everything you say is put down so easily?

The five grand Z9 is a case in point. (ebay used) "A better mouse trap." An HD video--a mirrorless without a mechanical shutter since it doesn't need one. A step up in megapixels if you want to cover your wall. All refinements on ten years ago to continue selling to the well healed. But nothing much revolutionary---just expensive tweaking. But still I doubt the NFL professional videotographers will ditch their shoulder mounted video cameras for one?-----------------------

I suppose it depends upon what You consider "revolutionary". Do you think the Z9 will drop to 1/5th of its retail price a year after it was launched like the "revolutionary" foveon miracle you worship did?

To my most irritating "nemesis"---Superfly-Fiji-Grahame-------who cannot let go his assault on the Sigma FoveonX3 revolutionary sensor, appreciated in both Germany and Japan, but was panned by the critic at DPhoto Mag,---After a dozen years and being many years discontinued, it still sells for 1/3 original price on the Sigma SD1-Merrill 46mpixel--or now selling at $1000. and over on eBay. You cannot say that for older models of Nikon and Canon---can you---Superfly?--------------------(The Sigma Foveon is not a topic of this thread except to SUPERFLY---trying as always to make trouble!-----------------------------)PS--this Superfly continues this with pasting altered photos of mine while he has never owned a Sigma Foveon. And the administrator ignores altering a photographers photo to degrade and make a false claim. But I will expose Superfly every time he tries this on me.-----(And I will refrain from my true view of such a person as then the administrator comes to life and deletes those comments?)---------------

From your response to my comment, its all very well you making these continued accusations but as said before, you need to come up with evidence. If you can't do that you will just be considered as someone that has not got a clue what they're talking about. Or is it that you are simply dishonest? The balls in your court.

Happy to see such interest in 3D! I have been a devotee for decades: 3 cameras (2 Realists and a Revere, a projector, viewers, etc). Currrently using a Fuji point and shoot and "project'' on a 60" Sony. One of my best memories was a show for my son's elementry school class of Loire valley castles....

I didn't read all the ebay listings but what I saw were modern Stereo Realist transparencies. The double view stereo cards from the Civil War to about 1930s were double photo positive prints on slightly curved cards to capture the light and were slid back and forth in a holder in the viewer to adjust eye focus from the viewing lenses. Now one usually finds single cards sold as high priced antiques. Our three boxes had about a hundred cards in each box. Years ago I gave my Palestine--The Holy Land--box to a Palestinian friend who said those view cards would remain in his family now--forever.------------------
