Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W1 slammed in early review, company responds point-by-point

Akihabara News’ early review of the Fujifilm W1 3D Camera pretty much laid everything out from the get-go with its headline, “The worst camera ever made: the review.” It assuredly caused more than a few raised eyebrows, not the least of which from Fujifilm itself. In an interesting and welcoming move, the company invited the publication to a face-to-face meeting — not for some physical redemption, mind you, but to address all the points of disappointment. There isn’t a lot said to alleviate concerns, and the common thread among all replies is pretty much that this is a new field that currently caters to a very small niche, and there’s gonna be speed bumps for time to come — in other words, better luck next time. Still, it’s somewhat refreshing to see a major company tackle the subject head-on and in public view — now if only we could make this an industry-wide trend.
