Looks like you need software to even look at it, no PC version yet.

You focus after you take the picture, you can even make a 3D image from the picture.

Anybody else have this?

I heard about it yesterday I think, there was a lot of talk that it ruins photography... I don't think so though, I think it'll open up a HUGE area of creativity that hasn't been explored yet.

That's what I think but you need software to make the picture you want.

not much different than needing Photoshop... except that the software prolly isn't torrented yet.

Doesn't ruin photography anymore than digital cameras and photoshop did. A few more years and we'll have HD cameras that run off this technology and you'll be able to just spray and area machine gun style and choose the best picture when you get home...

Oh yeah; I remember that thing. Not a big fan of the design; but the tech is pretty cool.
