Just saw this today...a new kind of sensor developed by Lytro (never heard of this company before) that records the "entire field of light" (whatever that means), allowing you to change the focus of the shot in post-processing if you missed the mark the first time!


On Yahoo news...

And the company website...

What do you think? Just another way to take the skill of photography out of the picture (pun!) or a useful tool that you would be grateful to have?


Not sure how I feel about it, other than that it can't possibly be cheap.


Thoughts?
