    notice the pink ” FEAR US” poster. The camera manufacture definitely should be afraid of these guys i think. Refocusing? Nice!

    Amazing, looking forward to HDR and the overall flexibility of computational photography!

    This isn’t just about HDR. HDR is a poor example of this camera’s options. Picture a professional DSLR with the customizability of say an iPhone. This platform allows endusers and other companies to write programs that really push the boundaries of photography and photographic equipment as we know it. If you think this is about in-camera HDR and little more, you’re sadly mistaken.

    I’m anxious for the day that these great features are available to prosumers.But, for the record, Pentax has had in camera HDR, up to 9 images, since the K10D.

    Can change focus? Does that mean it will be able to take 3d pictures and movies?

    How the hell are you thinking now?To make a 3d picture you need to take 2 pictures from two different angles, each corresponding to where an eye could be. Focus hasn’t got anything with that to do.

    Well, I guess if somebody were to put 3 ccds in such a way as they would make a kind of “section of a tetrahedron” , that is, you take a tetrahedron, find the middle then draw 4 vertexes to it from the corners then take one side and pull it out along with the middle. Then you put ccds on the inside panels of this thing and I guess you can compute the 3d location of the pixel within range, which I guess you can vary by changing the angle of the panels and adjusting the focus. That would be nice!
