No one wants to carry around a low quality camera as a separate device. Everyone already has one in their phone.<br />2) The resolution is horrible so only kids would buy it and kids only buy a camera if its on a phone.<br />3) You can't play in a niche market with ~100M in investment. You have to go into a phone.<br />4) You can't take a bunch of software folks and expect to get good hardware. It's very hard to get into a phone with a piece of hardware as a startup.<br /><br />The investors only needed to consider one thing: phone.<br />Perhaps they were falsely convinced that it was heading there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-84430757693476868972012-07-04T14:57:21.180+03:002012-07-04T14:57:21.180+03:00So long to the "mega-rays" labels.

And Lytro camera with everything in focus is a technical tool. I think that they target the wrong market sector. Just ask yourself, do you need a camera with possible all in focus but with 100X less pixels for your holiday? My answer is no. Maybe interesting for google street view cameras.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
