Lytro light field camera

Here is a video of the new Lytro light field camera. It doesn't take very high resolution images, nor can it do video. However, it is very simple to use, and of course requires to focusing.

It is expected the technology behind it will steadily increase in the capability in the coming years so that the sensor will likely support high resolution images. The ability to take pictures without focusing makes this technology a natural for smartphones in the future, once the resolution technology catches up.

Right now it is a rather expensive disposable toy (no replaceable batteries ...) - and initially only for Apple computer users.
