This seems pretty clever!

Could it be the next big leap in tech?

Sucky gimmic with poor results.

Perhaps mkII will be usable.

I remember thinking exactly the same with the first Sanyo Digital Camera (6000 pixels) look where we are now
with that tech ;-)

Judging by the results shown on their website, I think I'll give it a miss.

The pictures on the website don't look of great quality, but then being able to click on them to change the focus works quite well. It works especially well on this picture if you click to change the focus to the bug in the background.

Could have its uses in interactive online pictures, but I too think it is a bit gimmicky at this stage. Will be interesting to see where they take the technology though.
