I have been obsessed with 3D, ever since I was given my first View-Master in the 1970's. I've been an obsessive collector of all things stereoscopic ever since, and I've been taking my own 3D photos for the last 20 years or so.
The screen is pretty good - comparable to the screen on the Fuji - but the lack of alignment in the camera means the photos themselves aren't really usable until you download them and align them properly.
Yes indeed; I used a tripod and just mounted each camera in turn without moving anything, although the VTech camera doesn't have a tripod mount. With that one I had to perch it on top of the tripod and hold it in place.
I've put together a small collection of comparison photos, taken with various stereo cameras (including this one):

Image quality isn't actually as bad as I had expected it to be - there are far worse cameras out there.
There's a company called "Snap 3D" that will produce lenticular prints from these cameras, but you need to make scans of the negatives and send them the digital files:

I love the design of this camera, even though this particular example doesn't work (notice the crack in the Bakelite).
All of these photos have been taken with the Fuji W1, actually. I'm not crazy about the Fuji for general use, but it works surprisingly well for shots like this.
