3D will ultimately be best if the lenses are the distance apart of the average eye. Then you would see the images in apparent normal size. If the lenses are closer together, which most of the camcorders are except the Fuji W3, then imagine what is 6 feet from you will appear as if you are standing further away--mabye 12 feet--why they probably call it wide angle 3D. The images will not have the same roundness feel since the lenses are not seeing "around" the object as much as they would if further apart. I have never liked this type of stereo. It looks to flat and cardboard cut-out looking. But it's probably still better than no stereo, however on a smaller TV the images will not have much depth.
