Lytro Light Field Camera - Finally!
Revolutionary camera!
I don't need no freakin focus!
EVERYTHING IS RECORDED EQUALLY!
Lytro has finally released a camera! This concept seemed to be too good to be true, but it is a real camera now. At the moment, this is geared to the point and shoot crowd. But given some time, this could revolutionize everything we think about focus. Imagine that any digital image taken with such a camera can be refocused at any point in its history. Amazing! … and I'll bet it will eventually be possible with video! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
Lytro lets you take pictures like never before. Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.
Capture living pictures with the press of a single button. By instantly capturing complete light field data, the Lytro gives you capabilities you've never had in a regular camera.

This camera does it all for you…after the fact. Yes! You will never need to focus this amazing new camera from Lytro. I've been watching this technology for about five years wondering if there would ever be a product. Here it is! Can't wait to get my hands on one!

Lytro lets you take pictures like never before. Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.
The very first light fields were captured at Stanford University over 15 years ago. The most advanced light field research required a roomful of cameras tethered to a supercomputer. Today, Lytro completes the job of taking light fields out of the research lab and making them available for everyone, in the form of the world’s first Lytro Light Field Camera.
The FUTURE is in FOCUS…Exciting!!!

Apparently you don't need to frame the photograph either. Where's the viewfinder?
nocklebeast, did you watch the video? One end is the lens, the other end has a touch-screen viewfinder.
I was originally thinking a simple wire frame finder would be more useful, but then I guess there is zoom function where the a simple wire frame finder wouldn't work.... If there was a cold shoe, then an external finder could be mounted.... but there's no indication that the camera can be zoomed to a particular magnification (like some of the Ricoh point-n-shoots).
It will be interesting to read a review of how the camera is used. It looks like it would be like operating a cellphone camera... a little awkward for quick composition.
So has anyone outside of the company actually used one yet? I wonder how huge the images are, if they record light from all angles.
