Ready for the world’s first light field camera – you know, the spiffy kind that can infinitely focus? After demoing the tech earlier this year, Lytro’s unveiled the world’s first shipping product, a little something it calls the Lytro camera. B*****shed in anodized aluminum (the lens) with a rubber focus ring, the f/2 toting camera has an 11-mega-ray lightfield to power all that infinite focus magic. It’s instant on and wields only two physical buttons, one for shutter and the other for power. The company’s added the ability to change the focus on-camera, a task accomplished via its multi-touch glass display.

It’ll come in two models: an $399 8GB model that can hold 350 pictures and comes in graphite or blue, followed by a $499 16GB electric-red model that can hold 750. Pre-orders go live at Lytro’s website today, and will ship in early 2012 on a first-come first-serve basis.
