This is pretty amazing and it will certainly change photography as we have known it. That said, good work will still be good work, whatever it's shot with. It will certainly help those who have trouble focusing and it will add yet another dimension to post processing. Also perhaps 3-D will become more the norm? I bet the pro version will cost a fortune. And then there are motion pictures...

That is an amazing technological breakthrough, Mark.  Hope they don't get pushed out of the market by someone stealling it, or no capital financing.

A boon to police departments trying to figure out who that grainy guy is, sticking up the convenience store.

Wow, now we only have to have a camera that will select the best composition (or two, or three, or one hundred) for us, then we really can start ... doing nothing.

The dumbification of photography continues ...  :confused:

I still like to pick my DOF before. We may be some of the last thinkers on earth here.

I thought this over some more.  So how many photos does one take where they need a plane of focus in multiple locations?  I can see where it has it's usefulness (as Pete mentioned), but like 3D, will it just be a fad?  One application I can think of is where you merge all the focus planes, so the whole photo is in focus.  But we have software that can do that already, so the only advantage I can see with the new camera is you only need one exposure, instead of one for each focal plane.
