golemite Member 156 posts Joined Sep 2008 More info | Feb 29, 2012 17:56 | #1 http://www.theverge.com …2/29/2821763/lytro-review But the first iteration of the Lytro isn’t quite there yet: it’s hard to use, its display is terrible, and outside of a few particular situations its photos aren’t good enough to even be worth saving. It’s not even close to being able to replace an everyday camera, and at $399-$499, for most people it would have to. If you’re curious about what’s next in photography, you should definitely buy the Lytro — if nothing else, it’s one of the best conversation starters I’ve encountered in a while, and the variable focus never fails to impress. But otherwise, it’s a great companion camera if you already have a point-and-shoot or DSLR you like. Lytro’s not quite ready to be your only camera.

It would be neat to play around with, but the price is stupid, and the quality is generally mediocre. This is not the kind of thing I'd want to be an early adopter of.
