Sure, stereo photography is a fad:

I second that. I hate movies in 3D. I do think 3D photography has a limited bit of appeal, but that is probably because I am an engineer and like that kind of stuff.

I think this lens is pretty nice though (again from an engineering point of view). Panasonic seems to make higher quality electronics than most companies. I would probably get a lens like this for my Nikon if is wasn't too expensive to play with it and experiment.]]>Jul 27th 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/
You seem to forget, it's an *option*. All 3D can be viewed perfectly well in 2D, if you prefer. Nobody's forcing you to buy a new TV, and nobody's forcing you to watch *everything* in 3D if you did. Just relax, watch it however you want, and let others enjoy their choices too.]]>Jul 27th 2010 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/
I'm with the "3D is just a fad" crowd, but I don't think it's just a simple option. 3D is only an "option" when you take it of a temporal context. Yes, you can turn it turn it on or off, you cannot view something in 3D while the person beside you elects not to.

I cannot go into a 3D enbabled movie and watch it in 2D unless I close one eye. The same goes for 3D on TVs right now: I cannot watch my TV in 2D, if everyone else in the room is watching in 3D with their $200+ glasses.

If I they come out with the ability to do both 2D and 3D at once, THEN it's an option. (They might have already, in which case, ignore me). Until then, FAD.]]>Jul 28th 2010 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/I know, I know... 3d is such a fad... I hate seeing stuff in 3d... DAMN YOU 3d and the ILLUSION OF SPACE... DAMN YOU TO HELL...

Look, 3D media is not real 3D. You can't peer around something, you can't get a different perspective by moving closer. If that were the case, it might be cool. What all this 3D stuff is is adding depth information. When used correctly, it can be cool, but it is mostly used for the "hey look, it's 3D!" effect. It underwhelms me.

I'm a photographer, and part of my art is translating the 3D world into intriguing 2D representations. I'm sure some photographers will use this to great effect, but I have little interest.

Why do I care? I use a m4/3 kit as my compact kit, right now mainly with the 20/1.7 and a Voigtlander 40/1.4 M mount lens with adapter. Right now, m4/3 lacks a LOT of key lenses for the system, like a fast AF portrait lens, such as a 50 or 60mm f/1.4. The lack a fast standard zoom, prime telephotos, etc, and instead of filling those needs, they spend all this R&D on a lens that few photographers care about. ]]>Jul 28th 2010 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/Jul 27th 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/It'll surely work will the GF-1 since it's the same mount as all G series m4/3. But the main concern is price, how much is Panny gonna charge for a 3D lense?

@TheHypnotist -- "and I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea and thing I'm being a negative nancy or something, I'd just rather see a post about the HTC Vanguard (which had been a story today, that Engadget isn't really covering)."

@TheHypnotist -- "I just feel that the advancement of the camera industry is not nearly as important in technology as the advancement of smartphones. Hell, I'd rather see more posts on laptops. Honestly, more people would read and comment on news about the HTC Vanguard, and it bothers me that Engadget didn't even run the story today."

@TheHypnotist -- "honestly, am I the only one who feels that Engadget does way too much camera coverage? I don't see why there are so many posts about them, they never are very popular."

Seriously, the majority of the top stories being about Panasonic cameras is pretty silly, I bet you can even admit that. ]]>Jul 27th 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/

Maybe Panasonic has made a bunch of camera announcements today.
It's no big deal.
Tomorrow Samsung or someone else will have a round of product announcements, and they'll dominate the news for a few hours.

1st off I absolutely love photography and have more cameras than I care to disclose - LOL!

2nd - I bought the G1 when it debuted, as it was truly revolutionary, and have been very happy with it using my 45mm to 200mm lens since it covers such a wide variety of shooting conditions.

3rd - The G2 finally added HD video capability so it was a must buy.

4th - The Olympus PL1 was a gift I received as a birthday present, so I'm suck with it, not that it's all that bad (Note: I'm a viewfinder kind of guy so it's a little 'meh' to me).]]>Jul 28th 2010 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/panasonic-will-offer-interchangable-3d-lens-for-micro-four-third/
