Lytro first light field camera technology : Ready for the world's 1st client light field camera, you recognize, the spiffy kind that may infinitely focus? when demoing the tech earlier this year, Lytro's unveiled the world's 1st shipping product, a bit one thing it calls the Lytro camera.
Within the anodized aluminum frame, the consumer-friendly camera totes an f/2, 8x zoom lens that utilizes an 11-mega-ray light-field to power all that infinite focus magic. It's instant-on and also the rubber back-end wields solely 2 physical buttons: one for shutter and also the different for power. The company's added the flexibility to alter the main target on-camera, a task accomplished via its touchscreen glass show.
It'll ship in 2 versions: the $399 8GB flavor will hold 350 photos, and comes in graphite or blue, followed by a $499 16GB model, that sports an electric-red end and stores up to 750 pictures. Pre-orders go live at Lytro's web site these days, and can ship in early 2012 on a first-come first-serve basis. Our hands-on impressions are here, with PR and sample pictures when the break.
