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.

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.
