A digital camera that allows photographers to focus their pictures after taking them has gone on sale.

Rather than recording a single version of an image, the Lytro captures data about the intensity and direction of all the light entering its lenses.

That information can be reorganised later with the option to change which parts are blurred and which are sharp.

Pretty cool camera they have going on there.

I can't wait to go all CSI image enhancement on that, reasonable price tag as well.

Can't say I can fully justify it but still pretty awesome.

Whats with the very apple.com website though?

I smell a lawsuit brewing :D

This is an impressive camera. I can't wait to hear what the black and white brigade have to say about this - photography just a got whole lot easier :P They're annoyed by digital photography now, but wait until they see this in use. I can see another camera club murder of Midsomer Murders on the horizon, assuming people have seen that episode and know what I mean.

Srsly! What is with all the murders in that place, I am surprised the ladies can pop them out quicker enough to keep up with the diminishing population.

I think the camera developers are mac users (assuming that because the mac software is already released and the windows is still in dev). I vaguely remember that the Mac build-ya-own-website (I am sure it has a more elegant name like iBlog) has some templates that a very apple.com maybe that is what they used.

21mb per photo sounds about right and f/2 aperture is a good move.

I think it's a question as to whether or not there are enough men to do their business with these women :P Most of the men have been locked up or killed there.

I can't put into context what 21mb is for a photo. It seems awfully small... Is that post-production once the image from the camera is loaded onto the PC and edited through the software? Last I checked it was called iBuild or iWebsite, something classy and to the point, but may explain why it looks a bit Apple-esque :P
