Everyone has taken a photograph/picture/still image/etc. in which the wrong element is in focus. Even the BEST photographers, I'm sure of it. I know I've done it; not paying any attention to what I was doing, and maybe subconsciously thinking my camera could read my mind and switch to a 2.8 entirely on its own. I don't know. Point being, it's a horribly depressing moment to ever have to discover that you messed up a photo because you were in one hurry or another.
NOW there is Lytro: Picture Revolution for the consumer market (I'm questioning the image quality with this specification). If it is actually as good as it sounds, from what I understand, my eyes should never again hurt from awful lighting/focusing condtions of weekend party pictures on Facebook. I guess composition is still up to the operator, but this is a very attractive product/idea that Apple seems to be interested in (will this technology be on my new iPhone?).
The key feature is that you can adjust the focus after you shoot thanks to Lytro's Light Field innovations in image capture. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to some more details on the limitations and a personal test run for sure.
