Lytro

This is incredible: a Silicon Valley startup, Lytro, has developed a new kind of photographic technology that allows user to adjust the focal point of a picture AFTER it’s taken.

That’s AFTER.

How does it work?  According to the New York Times:

The Lytro camera captures far more light data, from many angles, than is possible with a conventional camera. It accomplishes that with a special sensor called a microlens array, which puts the equivalent of many lenses into a small space.

The camera goes to market later this year.  Sign me up for one, please!
