So I missed the bus, by attempting to be fiscally responsible the other day and NOT grabbing one of these weird stick-cameras when they were on sale for 150 bucks. But it got me thinking.

For those that don't know what it is, Lytro Cameras take a big, multi-depth picture, and then allows you to go into the picture later and pick whatever area you want to focus on. It's a weird, neat sort of product in action, and I was thinking about how it could be useful for cool shots for in-progress games and for dioramas on tables.

Anyone have any experience with the things? Waste of time and money? Get a real camera you shmuck?

I would certainly not get one to replace a real camera, though it does look like a fun toy.
