Meet the Light L16 camera with 16 lenses and unlimited depth of field

There have been some exciting innovations in cameras these past few years and also some certifiable flops (remember Lytro?), the Light L16 camera looks to be the next new thing in cameras.

If it looks strange, that's because it has 16 lense and apertures, why? Because each of these takes a picture simultaneously then using sophisticated computational imaging techniques, it fuses them together to create a single image with up to 52 megapixel resolution. That's a lot of detail, depth and precision that could beat a large-megapixel camera, at least in theory. The beauty of this solution is that it could result in images that can be better manipulated in post just because the image captured is so large and ultra-detailed.

The L16 will retail for $1,699 and ship in late summer 2016. A limited quantity will be available for pre-order through November 6 at a special price of $1,299 at https://light.co/.
