We have covered the Lytro before, but present day launch event may be the fist time we have seen it personally. Light area cameras allow you to focus afterwards. They are quite diverse from regular cameras. We'd wondered how large this factor could be. (Stanford's light area camera array is big.)
Works out, the correct answer is small (as you can tell they fit easily in Lytro founder Ren Ng's hands). Based on Ng, it packs within an 8x optical zoon, includes a constant F2 aperture, and captures 11 megarays of sunshine. (That's 11 million sun rays of sunshine).
The small anodized aluminum body has but two buttons, one for that shutter and the other for energy. Gleam touch sensitive zoom slider. It packs built-in software, like the Switch, that launches whenever you connect your camera to some computer via USB. The backside display can also be touch sensitive.
It is available in three colors and 2 models. Nowhere and graphite designs include 8GB of storage and can cost $399, the red-colored model is 16 GB and charges $499.
They're going onsale at Lytro.com at 1 pm Off-shore time, and can ship at the begining of 2012.
Ng shot a demo photo from the journalists since the event, submitted it to Facebook, after which shown how he could focus the photo afterwards online. It had been type of crazy.
More particulars once we have them.
