Holy cow!

This enables some pretty remarkable artistic techniques in post - when people say "We'll fix it in post", it'll have a whole new meaning.:gun:

OH MY GOD!!!!

I bet that's gonna cost a bomb though...

BUT STILL!! OH MY GOD!!

[Andrew Hewlett]

WOW. Thats something!

[Ameer Azari]

how much do you reckon it'll cost?
and when do you think they'll release it?

[David Birdy]

The future has amazing depth of field!

I call it:"The Insect"
Great Job !
makes sense to me whithout reading a dummie book !
It wont work on the RED ONE (lens has to be much bigger than the Camera),
but I understand why you posted it at Scarlet forum !

I bet this is the "game changer" that Mark from Ofhollywood was talking about...

Computational Photography!

Count me in for buying one of those (given it's not too much). It seems like you'd need a 200 megapixel sensor if you were going to split it 50 different ways.

It's been a research topic for some time- looking forward to seeing some practical cameras come out of it! For some background, see: http://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/lightfield/

[Frank Weeks]

Wow. That is interesting!

[Andrew McCarrick]

My question would be are you losing resolution per image? Those various angles have to be stored somewhere.... you can't stack a bunch of angles on one pixel.

[John Godden]

This is just vaporware. Come back in 4+ years when you have something solid.

Brilliant !!!!!!!

This is old news. I read about it a year or so ago.
A moderator needs to move this to the Off Topic section. :angry03:

[Antoine Fabi]

Ouch !!!!!

Fantastic if they can get good optical quality out of it.

[David Birdy]

Great post Thanks Simon!

[Kevin Lang]

Holy !@#! That is cool as hell! I must have one.
