The latest, greatest, digital camera

The new Lytro digital camera

The new Lytro digital camera has just been released. It is a point and shoot camera with a twist. The camera works differently from traditional digital cameras. The big twist is that images captured on the Lytro can be manipulated after capture in interesting new ways - most specifically depth of field can be determined and changed after capture.
