Lytro Illum

Lytro created a riot when they launched their first Light Field camera
The rectangle-box design was revolutionary at the time , but its customers were
mostly trendy crowds who wanted a unique edge over the standard DSLR/Mirrorless design format
But now , the company is back with a new refresh design and more technology to give
you all the "bokkeh" you want with the new Lytro Illum . First look at the illum shows us
the standard camera like design which now houses the  4" LCD pannel(original one had a 1.5" one) and standard controls which mimic that of a standard mirrorless camera . The camera offers 8x
optical zoom (30-250mm ) and has a constant f2.0 appeture . The Illum also has 1/4000 th of a second shutter speed and a 40Megaray sensor (the sensor captures 40 million rays of light) that contributes for the cameras main highlight feature -refocusing .


 Refocusing the photo is done by calculating the angle at which the light enters the camera and storing that data for later refocusing and other effects giving a 3d effect or creating artistic Bokkeh shots for your viewing pleasure . the Illum is priced at a whooping $1500 which is alot for a camera that is specifically aimed at refocusing effects, but then again ,there is always the option of using desktop editing software ,taking clever photos using Nokia's Refocus appor using a cheaper Lytro-like camera like the one found on the HTC One M8

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
