Lytro Illum

[AREA]

Anyone else got one of these?


I bought one on the spur of the moment out of curiosity and I've got to say I am absolutely hooked. Once you get your head around what you are doing and how to position yourself, the zoom and focus it is hugely addictive. It is also surprising comfortable to use.

It's in no way a main camera - but it is a special purpose camera that makes you think very creatively about how the shot will be used and interacted with. Get the lighting right (it does suffer graining a little if you crank up the ISO rating) and it has wonderful colour vibrance as well.

A sexy bit of kit for taking piccies of the car and turning them into movies.

I've still not worked out what a Lytro is [i]for[/]. Don't get me wrong, its an extremely cool bit of tech and focusing afterwards has a big 'wow' factor but I'm just not sure it's useful...
