BBMarlin Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sweet pics Mitch! I stopped by the booth today to check out the cameras, pretty sweet was almost tempted to pick one up. I think I'll give it +1year to see what they can do with the resolution but overall pretty sweet technology, I was really surprised to see how small the camera was, not sure what I was expecting but it was nice to see. Thanks for posting your photos! The new maker bots looked really neat too, did you see Bree Pettis' panel? I can't wait until the prices come down on the 3d printers/digiters... -brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thx Brett Did you get to see the pics that you took on the computer? The display on the camera itself is definitely lacking as I had questioned the quality of the pics I took, but what a difference once I uploaded them! When they came to SXSW last year, I also had the chance to play with it, but only for an hour. Besides not having support for Windows, I wasn't convinced. Having it in my hands for 24hrs this time around and really getting a chance to try a variety of shots and play with their software really convinced me this time. Besides having bought one for myself after having to return it, I ended winning another today If you or anyone else is interested in buying it from, lmk. Oh, here's a testimonial from Trey Ratcliff who happened to be leading the Google+ Photowalk @ SXSW today: The interviewer is Eric Cheng, Lytro's Director of Photography and a very well respected underwater photographer as well as running Wetpixel.com. His talk today included some AMAZING pictures he has taken (not with the Lytro though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechShop.com and ATXHackerspace.org, the latter being a much cheaper option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Some side tracking of this thread... I'm becoming an Eric Cheng fanboy, but you'll be too if you check out his pics: http://photos.echeng.com/Prints/Print-Sales/3381454_KFBCGG#!i=189233567&k=2GxQNf6 The pic of the loggerhead turtle was displayed in the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum - impressive!

JamesL Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Gotta love that there are hidden "features" on this camera like Wifi and Bluetooth that they enable later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
