I just saw this - it is a new company which has emerged saying they can produce a camera which takes images which you can change to focus of after.

Anyway, as I do not understand most of it, I will give you a link :jump:

They say they will not yet sell the technology to other retailers, but will produce their own cameras, so for now it looks like it will not benefit serious photographers as it will take them ages to build up a collection of lenses like the other manufacturers.

What do you think? Do you think it will catch on and we could be seeing it in Nikons and Canons soon? Or will people change to Lytro cameras?

Saw something about them a while ago. Not sure what competitively priced means.....could be they price to compete with Hasselblad ;) and not Canon or Nikon.
