Its an amazing piece of design, great to fiddle with and to collect. An idea years ahead of its time. Its difficult to use, is no longer supported, only shoots at effective 4mp and worst of all, no-one is making new batteries for it so its a (pretty) doorstop when the battery fails.

Although not particularly easy to use, mostly it's not the camera's fault which has an apple-esque user interface, but because of the new technology being used that most users are not used to. You see, this is a light field camera, original retail pricing was about $1500 in 2015. What does this mean? it means that the sensor doesn't just detect the colour and intensity of light hitting it, but also its vector. Yep, that's correct, this camera can not only detect 40 million bits of light, like a 40 megapixel camera can, but it actually knows the direction each piece of light was going. Ah, I hear you say, so what? Well this means that you can refocus images after clumsily shooting them, or make them 3D images on your VR headset or 3D TV. Yep, this camera was the future and still is the future, it just came a bit too early.Read full review

Great idea but ultimately sunk when the company stopped supporting the Lytro system so no desktop software no sharing photos on the web and zero customer support now. Am expensive paperweight. Picture quality is about as good as my 3 year old phone so don’t expect too much. Living focus might keep you amused for a few weeks but ultimately this is a niche product which has bitten the dust. Save your money. It’s also a very steep learning curve in using the Lytro and in my view because of poor quality photos plus zero support and the fact it’s I selected make this a No No camera for me. I sold mine after 4 weeks.
