This one looks promising.
I've been debating whether or not to put a deposit on a pre-order to lock in the $400 savings. They say that you can change your mind later for a refund.

Frankly I think that it has real potential... it remains to be seen whether it will realize all or most of it. A lot of folks might say "well, nothing trumps sensor area, and this thing is still small-sensor." True, but just like multiple telescopes can mimic some of the optical benefits of a much larger single telescope (namely angular resolution), so can the separated lenses mimic the effect of a larger sensor (DoF). The thing that the smaller telescopes (and the many small lenses) cannot duplicate is sheer light collecting power. In that respect the old adage is still very true. So low-light performance will be adequate, but will not overtake, for instance, a sensor based on a 35mm frame.

Actually, I would much prefer the Light 16 to the Lytro that I just bought. Keep an eye out for that mistake on the Light 16 and I'll trade you. |

Yep, the Olympus OMD EM-5 MKII does the sensor shift thing in which it captures what is effectively a 40mp image that rivals the D810 (opinion of DPReview). This 16 lens camera uses up to 10 lenses at once to capture an image so the comparison that you make is along the same lines. |

Indeed! And my being a Cheesehead, it holds a certain illicit attraction...

| I thought this thread was about someone dropping their backpack full of lenses in a river. |
