The samples I saw looked reasonably good but just looking at megapixels is only a small part of the equation. Even side by side comparisons of the same scene are a bit iffy. For instance the perspective shift on the sample Pelican images seemed very limited compared to what the Illum can do.<br /><br />It's nice to see multiple companies working in this space in any case. Competition is always good for the consumer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507325257507187171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098282854073744424.post-83247494572094447122014-08-11T04:41:42.124-07:002014-08-11T04:41:42.124-07:00Finishing our pleasant conversation, so I plan to ...Finishing our pleasant conversation, so I plan to wait for the launch of Pelican technology, which can<br />amazing 8 megapixel.<br />Thanks and see you one day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651546844095844567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098282854073744424.post-38198536380479666692014-08-10T21:32:27.274-07:002014-08-10T21:32:27.274-07:00Perhaps.

The odd thing though is that the first generation Lytro images will export to LFR at nearly half that resolution (1.3MP in spite of having just over 1/4 the light rays that the Illum has.

I think this is a problem with the Lytro Desktop software. Images from the original Lytro camera default to 1134x1134 which is just under 1.3 megapixels. My memory tells me that they used to export at the slightly lower resolution of 1080x1080 so that seems to have been increased slightly.<br /><br />Illum images on the other hand default to exporting at 2022x1404 which is only about 2.8 megapixels as you note. <br /><br />The Illum has nearly 4x the light ray capturing ability of the original Lytro camera. It seems odd given that and what Lytro has said about the Illum that it is only exporting at 2.8 megapixels.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507325257507187171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098282854073744424.post-80199481887453935032014-08-08T08:12:17.724-07:002014-08-08T08:12:17.724-07:00Danny,

The Lytro desktop software takes those light rays and based on the desired focal depth and other factors it renders an image.<br /><br />I'm not sure why the images I exported came out 2312x1736. It could be operator error on my part, a bug in the Lytro Desktop software or a real limitation.<br /><br />I'm strapped for time right now but will look into it as soon as I can. It might be a few days. :-(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507325257507187171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098282854073744424.post-45209831310452296462014-08-08T07:36:03.009-07:002014-08-08T07:36:03.009-07:00Hello Mike!
