I heard about this from my large format photography professor. Intriguing, yes.. but I'm not going to throw my lot in with it until I see more from it. It certainly gives more aesthetic latitude with a given image, but since it's a fixed f/2 aperture, it might limit you in terms of depth of field (that is, in landscape photography and getting everything in focus). At least that's the impression I'm getting from the examples they show on the website.

Me, I actually enjoy having to make decisions on how to compose a shot before I snap the shutter. There are some applications where that may not be as practical - sports, combat, etc. - in which a Lytro could certainly have its uses.

it seems to me that there are only 4-5 focus levels in all of there sample pictures. Its not like a manual focus ring, for example, where you could have every possible level of focus. It may have some applications, but, at this stage, it is not doing everything it claims it can do, or it should do. Plus, no interchangeable lenses.

They should have shit their pants years ago. Some broke college art major could do it for half easily. Especially with DSLR cameras becoming so cheap.

I still get paid pretty good for weddings based on my portfolio, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. Hell, most of the expensive equipment I use like my remote flashes, flash bracket, battery extender, etc. etc. are mostly for show just so I can look more prepared than the other 8 people who showed up with the same DSLR camera body as me!
