Fujifilm HDP-L1 HD Player and Remote

being owner of a finepix real 3D w1 camera and v1 picture frame and a samsung le46c750 3D tv i would have liked to watch my photos taken with the 3D camera on the 3D tv. quite obvious, one might think. but it doesn't work. samsung doesn't support fuji's native mpo file format for stereoscopic images, and even the side-by-side format can't be switched to 3d in terms of pictures, whereas with (converted) videos from the same camera this works.
so as the finepix hdp-l1 was announced to be able to play the 3D photos on a 3D capable tv via hdmi, i thought, this might be a handy solution. ok, it works. but one might expect it to work a bit different, maybe:

1. it only supports 720p, which still looks good, but as the photos have much a higher resolution (2x 10 megapixels), i would prefer downscaling to 1080p to get the best out of it. it seems that hdmi 1.3 doesn't support the higher 3D resolution, and so doesn't the item. and i'm not sure, if it even is a native 3D...Read more

This device is surprisingly small, about the size of a deck of cards maybe. It worked right out of the box and is really pretty great. It displays photos ofF SDHC cards in great quality and has a few options like a slideshow and the ability to rotate photos. Videos from non-fuji cameras don't work on this, but photos from any camera do. It quickly loaded and displayed my 16GB SDHC card. A pretty good alternative for cameras that can't hook directly to a TV.

1. Movies filmed in 3D cannot be shown in 3D, just 2D
2. Photos taken vertically can be rotated but only in 2D. When you view the same photo in 3D it is again shown on its side.
3. When you push a button the machine doesn't like it shuts itself off.

Helpful but very frustrating
