Types of Digital Cameras

Light Field Cameras

Light-field cameras, also called plenoptic cameras, such as the Lytro allow users Elgiane Benvindoto adjust the focus in a picture after the it is taken.^[1] A microlense array in front of the sensor scatters incoming light. Using computer software, a calculation can be done to determine where light would have hit, had the focus been different, thus an entirely new image can be produced from an existing one.

Prior to the Lytro, light field cameras had only industrial applications^[2] Despite their advantages, light field cameras have not become popular among consumers.^[3] This is most likely due to the fact that light field cameras remain expensive relative to normal digital point and shoot cameras.
