Poor LCD

The proprietary Lytro image file format can only be processed and edited with Lytro's software. Low-light photo quality is disappointing. Its LCD is poor for such an otherwise high-end device

Aside from the ability to refocus the image, the simplicity of the Lytro is really its biggest strength. Its so so so easy to use. Anyone can pick the thing up, tinker around with it, and end up with decent, results. But those with advanced photo skills c
The amount of light this thing requires for truly beautiful shots is considerable. Anything less and some part of the shot will end up hazy or grainy or lacking in detail. Especially if the subject is distant. And because this file type is so new and unsu
The Lytro is like the kid voted most likely to succeed in the high school yearbook. Its already successful, but still has tons of untapped potential. Not quite MENSA status yet, but well on its way.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe possibilities for light fi...
A completely new way of approaching photography — will seem like manna from heaven for early adopters. No more outoffocus pictures. Sharp, responsive optical zoom. Constant f/2 lens. Interactive photos can be posted to blogs and social networks. Days of battery life. Sharing photos is even more fun than taking them,
Too big for pockets. Placement and sensitivity of zoom control leads to misfires. Tiny LCD screen. Minimal editing options with initial launch. No WiFi or Bluetooth, so there’s one more micro USB cable to keep track of.

Abstract: Photography, here is your wake-up call. Lytro just released its light-field camera to the world, a device that looks and acts like no other camera ever made. Mashable got an early preview of the Lytro camera, and we can say it definitely delivers on its p...
Interesting product design, Well-developed user interface, Simple workflow, despite concept's complexities, Interactive experience sharable on Facebook,
Very low processed resolution, Explorable output tends to require contrived compositions, Small, low-res screen, Focus slow in Creative mode, Cross-hatch banding visible in high ISO images, No control over white balance can leave unpleasant tint under artificial light,
The Lytro LFC is unlike any consumer camera we've ever seen before - it captures fundamentally different information and produces output unlike any conventional model. Lytro must be commended for having made something so comparatively consumer-ready w...
Lytro images have to be seen to be believed – the technology is simply amazing. However, novel technology is never cheap and at £469/US$499 for the 16GB version (in Hot Red) and £399/US$399 for the 8GB version (available in Electric Blue, Graphite and Mo...

Abstract: The ingenious technology that makes up the innards of Lytro's Light Field Camera dates back to research carried out at Stanford University 15 years shy.Despite being available for nearly two years in the US, the interest from certain quarters of the tec...
There's something truly incredible in the Lytro concept that I'm hoping we'll get to see in the future. That could be in a future Lytro camera; or licensed to the likes of Canon, Nikon or Sony for a next-generation digital SLR; or to Apple, Samsung, Sony...

Abstract: The Lytro camera is one of those gadgets that, on first encounter, seems to do something so unfamiliar that it is indistinguishable from magic.The idea of a light-field camera is that it captures rather more light than a conventional model, so you can e...
