small blurry pictures to begin with. interesting technology anyway.
I like this more:

probably a bit more expensive though, and not camera related.

> The Lytro Light Field Camera employs a new type of image sensor, one that
> captures the color, density and, unlike current cameras, the amount of
> light
> traveling in every direction through every point in a scene.
> It then uses algorithms that permit you to view the image and select, in
> real time, which elements you want to be the center of focus.
> On its demonstration page — tinyurl.com/pcguylytro — you click on any
> object in the image, and watch as the surrounding elements blur and the
> targeted object comes into focus. It’s quite amazing.
> Lytro will be available early next year. It’s pricey: An 8 gigabyte model
> that captures 350 images is $399.
> It will feature an impressive f2 8x zoom lens, which permits a great degree
> of focus contrast in an image and is highly desirable. There’s no
> removable battery, however, and no memory slots to store more images.
> Lytro developers are exploring 3D applications that will allow us to view
> scenes from multiple perspectives and tap on any object for perfect focus.
> We’ve come a long way since the Polaroid Swinger.
