Lytro - a revolutionary way to take and view photographs

A device that will change the way we take and enjoy our digital photographs is on its way to Australia. It’s called the Lytro Light Field Camera and will go on sale on October 10.

The Lytro camera, which was invented by Australian Dr Ren Ng Ph.D, doesn’t look like a conventional camera – it has a rectangular shape with a lens at one end and a small touchscreen at the other.

What sets the Lytro apart is the fact that it's a light field camera which means it can capture the entire light field instead of just a single plane of light like a regular camera.
