Proprietary Lytro image file format can only be processed and edited with Lytro's so-far Mac-only software

The Lytro LFC is unlike any consumer camera we've ever seen before - it captures fundamentally different information and produces output unlike any conventional model. Lytro must be commended for having made something so comparatively consumer-ready w...
The Lytro Light Field Camera is easy to use and great fun to boot. It's not really designed to compete with an SLR or compact system camera – or even a compact camera – and its images aren't directly comparable with standard pictures. The 'living images'...

Screen can be tricky to view, which can make it hard to frame a scene, especially outdoors
