$400, and only works on Mac.. yeah, I'll be rushing to get that...

Just think though when it's finally ready for PC the price will be half that.

Yeah, it's an interesting concept, but the current version is next to useless.

* It takes 1 Megapixel photos
* That can only be viewed through special software
* And look pretty average at the best of times
* And only get interesting change of focus effects in fairly contrived situations

Bah and humbug.

Still, it's the first of its kind, the future of the tech is interesting.

for more mind blowing-ness try

5/2010
Researchers at the University of Toronto have come up with a new video camera that can achieve infinite depth of field even when objects are immediately in front of the camera. What they did was stuff an array of video cameras into a single camera, with each camera focused at a different distance.
