Lytro Camera

must be a camera if it has a lens!

Revolutionary new camera called Lytro is here! (well is announced, and will soon shows up in spring/summer of 2012)

The lipstick lookin cameras maintain f2.0 throughout the 8x zoom range. and takes photos instantaneously, (no need for focusing, cuz that's done by the software at the user end.

i pre-ordered the 8GB Graphite for $399 + $10 shipping (too bad they didn't take AMEX, as my Blue card has an extra warranty coverage, which is awesome for electronics purchases), the blue one is also $399, while the red one in the middle is the 16 GB version which can be had for an extra Benny, which i just could not justify.

for once i opted for the conservative good looks of graphite, as the red one cost too much :p (as if $399 is cheap, but after giving it some thought (all of 15 seconds) i realized, i just had to have this tech and the lipstick form factor before the technology blows up, making a run at the DSLR market.

pretty soon you'll see me roam about w/ my iP4S in hand, w/ the Lytos, and the GF1. (i want the Leica Macro Lens!!!) anyway, it'll be interesting :D
