  • Clever focus shifting, Easy to use, Solid build
  • Poor LCD, low resolution images, expensive
  • The Lytro Light Field Camera is easy to use and great fun to boot. It's not really designed to compete with an SLR or compact system camera – or even a compact camera – and its images aren't directly comparable with standard pictures. The 'living images'...

  • Build quality, Interactive results
  • Screen can be tricky to view, which can make it hard to frame a scene, especially outdoors
  • The Lytro is an innovative camera that can capture all the light in a scene and let you play around with the depth of field after you take the photo. It's a camera that should appeal to photography and camera enthusiasts...

  • At $399 it's barely a 5/10 proof of concept, but if you can hunt one down for less than $100 it becomes a 7/10 toy for photographers looking to dip their toes into gimmicky yet entertaining technology. I'm probably going to pick one up myself, so make of...

  • Abstract:  The Lytro camera is the most revolutionary product in photography since the digital camera. Developed by Stanford graduate Ren Ng and his team of light field-obsessed colleagues, the Lytro captures images in Megarays rather than Megapixels. As a result, i...

  • Easy to use, good looking, Software is an extremely nice complement, As cliché as it sounds, the images are magic
  • Inconvenient to use, especially the small screen and annoying zoom, Without the focus-refocus element, images are average at best
  • Right now, the Lytro is more gadget than camera. It's without a doubt a first iteration of the product, and it's a promising one. There's so much more to come: 3D and Wi-Fi are two upcoming features we know are in the works. But what about a better lens...

  • Innovative technology. Compact. Easy online image sharing.
  • Expensive. Poor photo quality. Terrible ergonomics. Low-res LCD. Very limited editing software. Currently works with Macs only
  • The Lytro lives up to its promise of capturing images that you can focus after they've been shot, but its image quality and ergonomics are poor, making the camera little more than an overpriced toy....

  • Refocuses images after the factStellar build quality.Simple but intuitive UI
  • Low resolution (~1MP) capturesPoor screenIffy low-light performanceNo Windows-compatible software yet
  • Lytro's debut camera only shines when taking well-lit pictures with multiple focus layers, but the technology is promising, and we suspect it's only a matter of time before all cameras work this way....
