Sounds all well and good it would certainly help with BlobSquatches, I would be interested to know how this technology could/would work? (thumb up)

Yeah that was pretty much my reaction too Dion. My first thought was, "no more blobsquatches!" but then it was, "Hang on, how the heck would this work? Is this just marketing spin?"

I'm interested to see how practical this new generation camera will be, and then of course how accessible it is. What's the bet it's horrendously expensive?

And here you can see the technology in action and adjust photos.
Blooms site is one of the best for video/stills stuff.

Hi Mike. Takes a bit to impress me but this does. First you have to have the idea and then you have to work out how to do it. Who could ever say we have discovered every concept there is to know.

I have a question - how did they take those photographs on that website that allow you to alter the focus, or is it just a large series of differently focussed images and you click to select. Is it for real or a mockup?

If they pull that off at a reasonable price they will make a fortune. Can they do it for video images?
