Commented on Just Posted: Lytro Light Field Camera review and video news story
It should.. and will... eventually. The relatively minor nit is capturing 10x a normal HD frame's data, processing it, and moving it... for each and every frame.

@HowaboutRAW: Moving object? Sure. No problem. You want to capture 10X the data PER FRAME in order to do so? We barely have the tech to capture 4K. You want to try 40K???

@falconeyes : It's ALL interpolated, but it might well be higher than you think. Part of the process corrects for lens distortions, chroma, and other aberrations, all at the same time.

@HowaboutRAW : It's a special micro lens array placed higher than one normally would be, over a standard bayer sensor. One thing to note is that he mentions if you could change the distance...

@ powerbook duo : Huh. I wonder what the net effect would be if you covered, say, 1/4 or 1/3 of a camera's image sensors with a 1-2 stop ND filter? Could you extrapolate and get single-shot HDR?

In his paper he demos a way to effectively have everything sharp. I'm not sure if the math lets you go the other way and get a DOF less than that actually captured.

Read the guy’s thesis last night. In it, there was one estimate that using a 35mm full-frame 112MP sensor you could extract a 2k x 2k image. More and you started running into diffraction...

Perhaps, but for the foreseeable future it's still a, what? three-trick pony. 1) Change focus point on the 1 or 2% of images where AF and Face Detection and all of the other cool toys on the P&S...

No thanks. Their "miracle technology" drops resolution down by about a factor of ten. A demo showed an 11MP sensor generating a huge 1.2MP image. I'm more interested in them adding Sony's latest...
