The world’s first light field camera is here!

Lytro is that wild camera that lets you focus a photo after you’ve already taken it. (Here’s a vid showing how it works.)

They’ve *just* announced the deets: there’ll be 2 cameras, a $399 8GB model in grey or blue and a $499 16GB in red. Pre-orders start today to ship in 2012.

I very much want one of these. I’m not entirely sure why, I haven’t gotten past the magpie factor to be able to figure out some sort of justification yet.
