Lytro cameras

If you are unware the lytro cameras, this camera differs from traditional camera, instead of using mega pixels to show off it's quality, it uses mega rays to capture it's photos. It uses something called light field technology and it collects every light source going into the camera so there's no need to focus and blur out to produce constrast. If you take a picture and you want to change it you can refocus it by using lytro's own camera software.

I'm not quiet sure for the actual dimensions of the device but it's about the size of a remote and from the exterior, it looks like a big lipstick.
The buttons to turn it on, take a picture is place right on the top of the device and in my head, I think is awkwardly place to put a button but after all it's the best place in button, considering the whole device is awkward to hold.

The lytro camera has got a 8x optical zoom and the way you zoom in and out on the device is sliding your finger left to right over the touch senstive area.

It's recharbable via a microUSB and it comes with a wrist strap that can easily hooked through the device. One more accessory that's very surprising that they included into the standard package was a magnetic cover that can be placed over the lens so it doesn't get stratched or damage.

There's a little LCD screen at the front of the camera to review your photos but you can't refocus any material you have, you've got to use lytro's own software to change the focus point of your image.

Lytro camera were shown off about 6 months at a technology conference and I actually forgot about it until technobuffalo's jon rettinger did an unboxing of it the other day.

This could be the new beginning to camera technology and the way we view pictures in the future.
