Introduction

You've probably noticed the elephant in the upper right corner of the page: That's a terrible score, the worst among any current camera we've reviewed. Yes, the Lytro is the first attempt at a new type of camera, and we expect a few rough edges. But it's still a camera, and we can still judge it according to the same standards as any other picture-taking device. This score is justified. Read on to see why.

The Lytro Light Field Camera is available from Lytro.com with 8GB of built-in memory in electric blue and graphite shades for $399, or with 16GB of storage in red for $499.
