You beat me to it! I just read about it on another site http://allthingsd.com/20110621/meet-the-stealthy-start-up-that-aims-to-sharpen-focus-of-entire-camera-industry/

There was an article out on this a while back when they first shared the technology. They had modified an existing camera to do it at that time. If this works the same, it takes many shots at once, each one with a different point of focus.

It's interesting technology that has some possibilities. Especially when combined with the editing technology we have today.

Not that I find focusing a hassle these days but it would be a real help to my husband's friend who can't take an in focus picture to save his life Dh takes a nice photo of him, gives him his camera so he can take a photo of DH- about 75% of the time they are out of focus Its not just our p&s either- he does the same to his wife. She takes a nice photo of him- his of her is all blurry.

If it is taking multiple shots, then I wonder if the file size will be larger and make RAW type adjustments impossible. Can you imagine the file size of combining say 6-8 RAW shots into one file!

It may be cool tech and all, but my personal opinion is: not for all the tea in China, all the money in Ft. Knox, etc. could you get me to buy that! Yuck. Makes me want to heave. Give me a 10-foot pole, and I'm still not touching it.
