I'm just using a "regular" digital camera -- a Ricoh RDC-300 w/ a 4mm fixed
focus lens. The nice thing about the digital camera is that it doesn't cost
you anything to mess up your shots.
I placed the subject 12-14 inches away and placed the camera on the table at
the same level as the subject. I took the left picture and then moved the
camera 1 inch to the right and took the right picture. I purposely left the
flash off. I read somewhere that having the flash on while doing this would
cast weird shadows because then the light source would be different in each
photo. Then I opened the pics in PhotoShop, cropped, reduced, and pasted them
next to each other.
I think I'm going to experiment a bit more with bigger images/sets...

If you search ebay for "3d camera" you will turn up a bunch of these.
