Shoot first, focus later. Interesting, to say the least.
Click on an area of the image to "refocus".

I kind of dig the sardonic tone they employ..
“This year, Lytro will debut the first light field camera for everyone. OK – you’re not everyone. You are a beautiful, unique snowflake”.

same tech?
http://www.qbn.com/topics/642074…- AH! That's the one, I was racking my stupid brain for that tech. Thanks! (which is to say—I'd expect it is this tech)detritus

Is there a photo of the actual camera anywhere on that site?

H C-B wouldn't (or any other photographer worth their salt for that matter).Anyone who is any good knows how to get what they want first off — as ever; in photography or anything else.
Seems interesting tech, but kind of geeky. In terms of photography it adds next to nothing. Being able to un-mess up an OOF snapshot or shift the viewpoint a few inches? hmmmm...so what
Which might be why they decided to pitch it at the consumer level — seems a bit of a lo-res, lo-quality, snapshot-friendly tool/gimmick.

i'm curious to see how the sharpness, contrast, and bokeh works itself out after a few builds.

"In terms of photography it adds next to nothing."
What? This is a game changer and will eventually be part of every camera and photographers tool kit.

Why not just take a sharp photo, and use a blur effect in photoshop on the areas you want blurred?

this tech will only be big and successful if the porn industry take it up. just look at beta vs. vhs / blur-ray vs hd-dvd....

The founders dissertation is good:

from a technological perspective, it almost looks as though they're doing with dof what they're doing with exposure in hdr. capturing a range of depth, as opposed to a range of exposure.
question for all you photographers out there. is there something on modern slr's that's similar to exposure bracketing, but for aperture?

This camera does look interesting now there are more details / images available. Hard to tell print quality and I guess with infinite options of what the image can be comes indecision?

I'm glad they redesigned it to look more like a camera. The first design looked more like a souvenir keychain.
