Report: Panasonic Making the First Interchangeable-Lens Light Field Camera
Lytro may have launched the world’s first consumer light field camera back in 2011 and a more powerful followup, the Illum (pictured above), last year, but it may not be alone in rushing for future milestones in light field photography.
Case in point: Panasonic is said to be working on the world’s first light field camera that uses interchangeable lenses.
No word yet on other details such as mount, sensor specs, and pricing.
Panasonic has been announcing some big plans in the world of photo and video as of late. Back in May, the company revealed that it’s planning to release an 8K camera by the year 2020 — a camera that lets you extract 33 megapixel photos from the captured footage.
