Hi Kevon,

All excellent points. I'm taking this one from the "we report, you decide" standpoint, but confess I'm hooked on clicking the sample images to shift focus. I'm simple that way.

$400/$500 for the 8gb/16gb versions. A lot like buying an ipod. And with that shameless segue, I'll add the rumors floating about that they're in talks with Apple. Stuff the tech in the iphone and you instantly have 50 million users.

If the technology were transitionable to "real" cameras, I could imagine some interesting results using fast primes and a decent size imager. That would make the effect far more dramatic and ease the focusing task considerably (I have lenses with DOFs best measured in millimeters). The needed computing power and file size would be enormous.

It could be the next thing for the public to become bored with, after they give up on 3-D.

Cheers,
