We have it and love it. It's very crisp and works well indoors and out.

Can you give us some sample photos of images taken with the 3D lens and what its effects are?
Thank you.

I agree with Timnevan. This lens is great indoors or out and the pictures are phenomenal. You can only view them on a 3D enabled device (television with the glasses), though the camera does also store a 2D version of the pictures on the card. One thing I discovered: The card holds both the 2D and 3D versions of the pictures. The 2D pictures will show up first on the tv, the 3D pictures show up much further down in the thumbnails...I had to search for some of the pictures I had taken to find them. (It was worth the search!) I can post some pics, but they'll only be in 2D here, not sure if that will have the impact. We are looking forward to spring break to shoot some 3D pictures and video of my wife's grandmother's home in Utah. It will be a great way to preserve the memory of the place.

I love how my fave people are on the case with 3D. Honestly I'm still learning to improve my 2D, not sure my 3D would be noteworthy but it would present some very mindblowing opportunities. It's also pretty nice that the backward compatibility is automatic so even your 3d work is accessible on a "lesser" device. I like your upcoming spring project John C. I think 3D was invented to do just that. That sounds perfect to me. I want to get my skills up on stop motion and videography before diving into 3D but the beauty of it is, there probably is no real need for that progression. Just dive into 3D and use it for all it's features and possibilities, that is really cool! Keep rockin on!

Is the quality of the 2D affected or is it the same. Utah will be a beautiful backdrop for using the 3D.

I've noticed recently that youtube now accomodates 3D, in a variety of formats. Does anyone know, since the lens shoots a separate image for each eye, are they stored that way as separate left and right eye files? Or can the be sorted out after the fact, so you can encode them for say cyan/magenta, so they image can be viewed on youtube, on a 2d monitor with the proper glasses? I haven't seen the files, but if they are at least something you can get to in that fashion, it would add more flexibility in sharing with others, until the 3D tv's are more prevalent.

That's a great question John but I think as all standards go, the folks (esp YouTube) who would host 3D should be fine if viewed on a 3D device. I think like other formats the support would be there for the people with the right devices to view them. Web standards like VRML were trying to do this (circa 1996 via the W3C, global web standards) like how HTML (web code) does that for web sites with some success but with HTML5 coming on (and FireFox, Safari, Opera and even Internet Explorer being more standard compliant) I think it will still depend on say Sebastian or The Polis viewing that 3D content on a 3D device with all the accessories that work that way. The beauty of 3D is that if you never used anything before just buy compatible devices and rock on. Right?  Just guessing that the support on 3D would be a lil' smoother than HD is going in general. Like how many people have upgraded to HD Radio? With NetFlix on gaming consoles and Pandora.com coming native in your new car, the onus to provide native 3D support within accredited devices (even your next MetroPCS handset) must be pretty coherent. Our 3D experts will set us straight. I'm a fairly active YouTuber but VEVO, vimeo and HULU are more my appetite for HD (non 3D) right now.

Actually, my question wasn't so much viewing the 3D images on youtube, but rather focused on the 3D image capture in the camera. if the camera captures the images, as distinct left and right eyes, then whether it is polarized (like 3D tv) or anaglyph (the red blue), you should be able to encode the images you capture for the other platforms. If they capture sequentially, left, right, left right, into a single file, then you would need to be able to pull the files apart, to edit them. A little bit like shooting 24P in video, you need to be able to do a little manipulation in order to edit in in something like Adobe Premiere.
I agree, Vimeo is my favorite platform for HD video, the quality blows everything else away for streaming. Its all in the encoding I guess.
