Lytro

yeah, i hear that excuse a lot. "it sucks now, but someday it won't". it's a fundamentally flawed device. the basic principles upon which the lytro is based mean that it will never be a practical option for the vast majority of camera users. light field photography in general has a lot of potential, but the lytro is nothing more than a gimmick created to make a quick buck.

The Lytro technology is in its infancy, and as such no one can reasonably expect it to compete with fully developed technology that's been around for a while. When you were an infant, did your parents write you off as a joke and state you'd never amount to anything?

Yes, and my Mom still says they were right!
