If I'm understanding this correctly, this camera allows you to alter the plane of focus in post processing. Is that right? If so I dont think that this technology will appeal to "photographers" who currently use cell phones and do no post processing. Many people use point and shoot or even dslr's and do no PP. Is this breakthrough going to convince these people to buy software and learn to use it just so they can alter the focus plane? Maybe but I dont think so.
For advanced hobbiest and pros obviously we'll have to wait for this technology to come out in a high grade camera that can use high end lens. Regardless of what light this technology captures it all comes through a lens I assume. When this technology starts into the pro market they will have to address the issue of photographers who have spent tons of money on all of these high grade lens.
Just being able to adjust the plane of focus, while very cool, is not anywhere near the only or biggest issue when making a photograph. It is about the light. The amount, direction and quality. This technology does nothing to assist with that does it? Maybe it does, I dont know.
If I could magically add this capability to my Canon then yes I would do it. If it means having to buy a new camera body to replace my Canon then I might when they are cheap enough. If it means canning my system and starting over then I doubt I would jump on it.
If I were in the market for a $400 point and shoot I would check this camera out but I would still be most interested in image quality and this quality is controlled by the lens and sensor. We'll see.
