Finding information on new cameras before they’re available is both easy and difficult at the same time. There’s so much information and speculation out there that there’s a lot to sift through.

We first mentioned Lytro’s Immerge virtual reality camera last year. Incorporating their light field technology at its core, it has a very unique appearance resembling something more suited to the set of a sci-fi movie.

I’ve found the dancers often make the best subjects in front of the camera. Even if they’re not actually dancing, they often have amazing body awareness.
