2011’s most outrageously incredible camera just hit the FCC, leaving it a step or two shy of being on retail shelves here in America. The Lytro light field camera (hands-on) — for those who blinked through late October — is a rare game-changing device that enables photographers to shift the depth of field after the image has been captured. The downside, of course, is that this functionality is tucked into a pocket-sized toy rather than Canon’s incoming EOS 1D-X (or similar), but we’re hoping that it’s only a matter of time before the company licenses this out to the big boys. The included user guide proves just how simple the $ 399 device will be to operate, but on the same token, how few options there will be for advanced users. Dig in yourself in the source link below — looks like that “early 2012” shipping promise might just be kept.
