Lytro Cameras

I'm pretty sure a good bunch of you would have seen pictures of read about them. Lytro's the first commercially available light field camera that allows you to take a photo, and refocus the image after the shot.

What with a recent headline that Steve Jobs was actually interested in the work done at Lytro, can you imagine what the future will be like if this takes off?

Considering this is just the beginning, it'd be interesting to see how light field cameras take form in the next 5 years....Light Field DSLRs perhaps?

At the moment the tech which is still new, image quality is good but not great, I'm just excited to see how far this tech can go from here!

The camera is currently up for pre-orders and includes a software that currently works for OSX only. For 16gb though, storing 750 images means one image is a whooping 20 over mb! Not sure if there's such a thing as megapixel count for such images though, wonder after you've refocused, if you could export the image as a jpeg and if it'd be large enough for use.

Check out the website, and play around with the images on the picture gallery if you got the time, it's pretty cool =)
