Lytro 8GB light field camera ("11 Megaray" sensor), not used much, includes carrying pouch, magnetic lens cover (when not using the pouch), and a tripod attachment (which locks around the body as you screw in the quickplate or tripod).

Fun Stuff:
  • creates 'living' pictures that can change focus after the shot
  • can get VERY close to the subject (as shown in second picture)
  • Has the latest firmware they made so some manual controls are possible (ISO, center focus, shutter speed, the aperture remains constant at f/2.0).
  • 8X optical zoom (which will limit the range of focus changing the more you're zoomed in)
  • Charges and transfers with any micro-usb cable (so not a proprietary cable requirement).
  • Photoshop Plugin in Lytro Desktop 5 (you get an export of each focus slice and the depth map).
  • Can export an MP4 video animating thru the scene up to 1080p.


Not So Fun Stuff:
  • Does not replace a still camera, as still frames converted from a living picture will not be any bigger than 1080 x 1080.
  • Screen resolution on the camera itself isn't that great, but you can zoom into the images and change focus while zoomed in from the playback.
  • Requires uploading to their website for sharing living pictures. Does have a share to 500px (Still image), and Facebook (animated movie).
