  • Huge fun to use, Produces unique 'living images', Intuitive controls
  • Expensive, Rather awkward handling, Small image size
  • box It's great fun producing images that can be refocused, but there's a high cost for this entertainment and the images can only be viewed at fairly small size, but it's just possible that this is a taste of the future of photography....

  • It's a lightfield camera, Awesome design & build, 30250mm lens with constant f/2, Battery life, Tilted touchscreen
  • Takes way too long to import photos, Lytro Desktop software requires crazy processing power, Handling could be improved, No wireless control, No video, Lacks sharpness, Lacks dynamic range, Magenta overtones, You have to use Lytro's website to post any pi
  • The Lytro Illum isn't a camera, it's a concept. It upsets your entire perception of photography, your relation to the frame and to depth of field, opening up endless possibilities. It's a (nearly) new technology just waiting to be explored that will chall...

  • Capable of amazing effects, Much higher resolution than first Lytro, Offers good control
  • Slow software processing, Very expensive, Resulting images remain low-res
  • The Lytro Illum is a much better demo of light field tech than Lytro's original camera, but the high price and image quality problems still see it consigned to a niche. Next, read more Camera Reviews...

  • Abstract:  Unfortunately, the first Lytro camera looked more like a toy than a tool, and at £400 was pretty expensive for a product that promised to solve the ‘problem’ of focusing for consumers – especially as even the cheapest digital compact cameras have pretty s...

  • Living pictures are pretty amazing, Forces you to approach photography in a new way, Desktop app allows extensive editing
  • Slow startup time, Not great in low light
  • But that's not to say it's a bad product. Like the first iPad, it's a product that's generally well made and works as it's supposed to – it's just that people are still figuring out just what its purpose actually is.The Illum is the first real consumer li...

  • Technologie plénoptique, Qualité de construction, Zoom 30-250 mm f/2 constant, Bonne autonomie de la batterie, Écran orientable et tactile

  • Le Lytro Illum, c'est tout un concept. Mieux, c'est tout un art de vivre. Surtout, le Lytro Illum vient totalement chambouler votre perception de la photographie, votre rapport au cadrage, à la profondeur de champ. Il vous obligera à être encore plus exig...

  • La Lytro Illum rivoluziona il concetto di fotografia perché permette al fotografo di concentrarsi esclusivamente sulla composizione senza preoccuparsi troppo di uno degli aspetti più critici: la messa a fuoco. Uno strumento che permette di sperimentare u...
