Talk about a revolution, the light field camera is really here, and starting at $399 I think has the potential to really take off. Personally I see massive potential for this technology and am really looking forward to see how it advances.
Here's Dpreview's first look and interview with Ren...
X-Rite, the kings of colour out of Grand Rapids Michigan are going to be offering free colour management webinars this month. You can sign up HERE. If colour management intimidates you or you simply don't know what it is, this is a great opportunity to ask questions, and/or to simply get up to...
