The title pretty much gives it away but I have pre-ordereed a Lytro camera which I have previously written about here. I went with the graphite 8GB model and it is expected to ship in early 2012 (whenever that ends up being). There has been a gripe or two about the lack of video capture …

Shoot Now and Focus Later with a Lytro Camera
You could be forgiven for thinking I had mistyped the title of this blog post. Many people would know that cameras rely upon the user focusing upon a subject or a particular field in a shot prior to capturing a picture (most notably with SLR cameras).
