Looks like we're not the only ones to get a Lytro this month: according to company founder and CEO Ren Ng, the tubular light field camera is now shipping to the first batch of pre-order customers. If you were entranced by the groundbreaking shoot-first, focus-later camera in our review today and plan to order one now, we're sorry to tell you that you'll won't be getting it quite that soon yourself. Lytro tells us that production is underway and units will be shipping continually to customers from now on, but if you buy today, you'll still have to wait for April or May for it to arrive at your door.
