Adobe Light-Field Camera- 02.25.08

adobecam.jpg I think i nearly drooled on my keyboard reading about this Adobe Light-Field Camera. I am by no means a traditional (or even a good) photographer. I know i’d be no where without Photoshop, playful compositions, and a fancy camera. As a product of my technology, i am sitting here dreaming about what could be done if each image could contain 19 different depths of field… a magical adobe “focus brush” that would paint using the seemlessly morphing interstitial images the software already created from all the image data. Watch the video after the jump.

Seriously this fly-eye lens capturing multiple perspectives and instantly being able to process all the various pieces of data completely changes the possibilities of not only photo-editing, but HOW we perceive photography and imagery… ok, i’m giddy for the day. See more images and the video below!

AMAZING!
How much will this retail for?

----- Char 26.02.08 11:27

Unbelievable, possibly one of the biggest advances in digital imaging in recent years, I have a feeling this is going to catch on very quickly. Amazing!

When do they go on sale, where do they go on sale, I dont need to know the price cos I’ll sell my wife, my home, and whatever else(except my kitten).

Now everyone can be a Pro photographer - we will save money doing it ourselves

----- Mike 27.02.08 10:43

A continuation of what I see as a growing trend in cameras these days: The dependency on technology rather than actual knowledge or talent. Who needs to learn how to take good photographs when we could just design a gadget to do it for us?

Technology is a bitch like that. Said the same about woollen mills a few years ago, who needs to knit now?

----- clyde 17.03.08 16:33

this is bullshit, if you cannot focus an image with a camera get the fuck out!

----- Photoman 24.03.08 20:48

photoman is in denial. adapt or go the way of the dinosaurs.

----- antiphoto 30.04.08 12:08

you know what? technology doesn’t ever make up for talent, and talent is only enhanced by technology if you actually know how to use it…so if you’re any good to begin with you would embrace new technology like this…the people who are upset about this are simply scared that their lack of talent will be exposed…oops, sorry guys…
