I wonder how the new Lens Blur feature compares with light-field cameras, like the Lystro: http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/22/5625264/lytro-changed-photography-

It seems like cool technology - it'd be a shame for it to fall by the wayside because people think software can achieve the same (although if I'm wrong, and it can, please correct me).
- krilnon 13y agoI have a Lytro and Nexus 5, and the biggest immediate difference in the user experience is that the Lytro captures all of the data in a single exposure. The Google Camera lens blur feature gets its depth data from having the photo-taker take a photo, then move the camera up (several inches to a couple feet, it seems, depending on subject distance). So if the subject is moving or you have unsteady hands, the capture will be cancelled. But at least my phone is always with me…
