Lytro's Light Field Cameras

     The first of these new cameras are boasting the ability to adjust the focus of your photos after they've been taken. They're simple, compact and going to priced around 400 dollars and feature 8 to 16 gigabytes of storage or 350 to 750 photos.  The camera is able to adjust the focus post shooting because it captures the subjects entire light field in a proprietary file format. The pictures are not measured by megapixels instead by the number of rays of light recorded by the sensor called "megarays".  These models have 11 mega rays which is said to be approximately 22 megapixels. 

     But if you ask me the most exciting thing about this camera is that since it can focus at anytime there is no auto focus motor, which is the cause of that annoying shutter delay that's in every point and shoot on the market today. This means more open eyes and less tired mouths sustaining the word "cheeeeeeeessseeee."
