Nice!

 

I may have to wait until the price comes down a bit however.

I think everyone will want one of these... but in video.

 

 

Interesting Note: Right after this video played there was a camera that takes 1 trillion frames a second demo'd.

No commercial model expected any time soon though. (It's used for capturing light traveling... in slow motion)

Cool. I can't imagine how they got that down to one flat sensor.

I wished they had this technology when I was in high school many moon's ago. We was robed when we was growing up.

Very cool camera. Wonder what the resolutions are. When do you 'lock' the focus...? can the whole picture be in focus? Looks like it could translate to 3D very easily.

after doing a little research i came up with each picture is going to 22.9MP

each lens in considered as 1 picture. there are a total of 11 lenses inside of the camera.

1 lens produces 2.1 MP image.

 

the camera is in focus at all times because each lens is preset at a certain focal point in 3D space.

8x optical zoom; Constant f/2 lens (this camera works well in lighting of about 2.3 lux)

 

all the info is here

my guess after you pick the desired focus it does some calculation to include other lenses to bring the resolution up on images for file transfer so you dont have to to have the entire 22.9MP image to download
