It’s been nearly four years since Lytro started shipping their first pocket-sized light field camera. The technology has advanced since then, and the Lytro Illum represents its cutting edge. It still takes the stunning ‘living pictures’ of its predecessor — images based on the full light field that can be refocused and subtly repositioned after they’ve been shot — but right now you can get it for nearly half off the normal price, $699.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
Lytro’s cameras capture the angle of every lightray in a room to create the depth and range of each image. With the Illun, they’ve modeled their camera like a DSLR, sporting a custom zoom lens and an articulated viewscreen for taking macro shots. The light field sensor has nearly 4 times more definition than its predecessor, but despite the exotic format, the controls and features are quite familiar: auto and manual focus, exposure modes, photo filters, etc.
With the Illum, you can explore this new form of photography for $699.99.
Bonus Deal: The first generation Lytro is also still a fine option for anyone interested in light field photography, and it’s a lot less expensive. Right now the 16GB model is going for just $79.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Finally something I’m interested in buying and you don’t ship outside the US?!
Hello?! You’re a website, you’re accessed by the whole world. No wonder the rest of the world hates America so much!
You do know there’s a lot that is involved in shipping overseas – taxes, export licenses, limits on types of tech that can go overseas.
That’s why Amazon, Apple and other big companies have separate sites for overseas.
Here is something extremely interesting that is worth to pay attention , a superb opportunity for work for those who want to utilise their free time to make some extra money using their computers… I have been working on this for last two and half years and I am earning 50-80 dollar/ hour … In the past week I have earned 13,245 dollars for almost 20 hours sitting ….
Any special kind of skills or qualification is not required for this, just normal typing and a reliable internet connection ….
Time limitations are not here to start work … You may work on this any time when you get some time ….

Is the camera still dependent on Lytro to host your photos?
