the info is right on Lytro’s from page: http://www.lytro.com
Here are a few of the features listed:
Elegant omissions.
What’s missing? Nothing you’ll miss. No auto-focus, no shutter lag, no unnecessary modes, dials, or settings. And no flash, because Lytro can handle many low light settings. So, no obstacles to the perfect shot.
Play with the light.
Living pictures want to be let loose and roam free. When you share them from your Mac*, your friends enjoy the same interactive control as you, on nearly any device, without needing special software.
A Windows application is in development.
Speed, indeed.
Light field technology translates to faster snaps. Without an auto-focus motor, the Lytro’s instant shutter means you don’t lose time focusing. Plus, with instant power on, you can capture the perfect moment – not the moment after.
Form follows function.
The Lytro Light Field Camera boasts an 8X optical zoom lens with a constant f/2 aperture, capturing maximum light across the entire zoom range.
Intelligent design.
Extruded anodized aluminum structural skin. Center of gravity shutter button. Intuitive multi-touch screen. And less than eight ounces. What does it all mean? A meticulously designed camera that’s lightweight yet solid, built for stability, and easy to use.
