Lytro, camera of the future?

I have been seeing articles about this new camera for days now, but it was not until the other night that I actually read one of the articles to see what all the buzz was about.

The new camera is from a company called Lytro.

The most amazing thing about this camera is the new technology it uses for taking pictures.

Traditional cameras use lenses that focus the light so that one plane of the viewing field is sharp and in focus. For instance, if you are taking a picture of your friend in a forest you would focus on your friend and everything else closer or further away would be blurry.

Enter the Light Field Camera.
