" The Lytro Light Field camera will go on sale in Australia October 10, costing $499 for the 350 picture model, or $599 for the 750 picture model.

About bloody time.

You may remember reading about the Lytro Light Field when it first appeared in the US in October last year. It’s that strange-looking camera that takes even stranger photos: ones where you choose the focus after the fact, when you’re sitting at your PC.

Well it turns out it was invented by an Australian, Dr Ren Ng, and it’s finally coming home where it belongs. "

Any photographers amongst us that wants a new toy? 15 cents deposit and the rest by lunchtime.

It might be good for serious photographers - you can alter the picture a lot it seems, when you get home, and not lose quality.
