Wow! New light field cameras coming this year!
It’s seldom new tech actually really surprises me. It’s not because of anything but that most new tech is old tech just bumped up a notch. It’s incremental. Think data networks and mobile phones… 2G, Edge, 3G, HSDPA, 4G, LTU, ABC, XYZ… yada yada. It’s all a progression. Wireless data, just faster.
