So it's actually here.
A few things I don't like based on reading and some of the sample pics you can play with.
File size is very small once you download and process. Like 1000x1000 or something close to that.
No raw.
Can only be used with a MAC(for now)
You can only upload photos to Lyrtro.com before you post them anywhere else(I've read but not 100%)
I'm not like the inability to control DOF. You cannot control your aperture so it's a constant F2.
When playing with some of the images on their site I've noticed that infinity isn't too sharp. Also if you choose to focus on an object just far enough away, you'll have very off foreground but focus from subject to infinity is sharp(relatively).
No shutter control, no ambient control. I might want to have some motion blur in my photo.
No in camera options besides exposure compensation I believe.
In hindsight, I would bet this trype of sensor would blow the first digital sensor made out of the water.
I'm wondering what dynamic range one of these sensors can capture.
I think my next purchase is still going to be medium or large format film system....
