An issue will be the amount of data that needs to be recorded - probably quite large - vs the size of the focused images - probably small. I don't think this is so different from HD technology using multiple exposures.Lew

The potential of this is simply stunning. Game changing.
It's akin to RAW processing for focus...a photograph can become any of a number of different interpretations.

I'm so excited to see where this goes.

    So what do you all know about light field
      photography?  My first exposure to it was a link on the Canon G12
      group.  Wall Street Journal had an article about this and Stanford
      has been researching it.  There is now a company, Lytro, promising
      a pocketable camera utilizing the technology.  I will add the
      appropriate links:

      If true this could really be revolutionary it seems.
