The revolutionary light field camera from Lytro

Could this be the way forward for photography? The new Lytro camera is a really clever piece of technology that may revolutionise the way we take photographs.

It works by capturing the entire light field rather than using light from just one plane.

This ability to capture light in every direction and from every point allows you to focus and re-focus at any point on the image – AFTER you've taken it! So no need to make sure you get a shot spot on first time.

With no shutter delay and no focussing this should provide a sharper, more instant shot.
