If you looked at Lytro's claims, native resolution is HD, IIRC
full HD, i.e. 2 MPix.

I missed that:
"Produces HD-quality interactive, living pictures".
I suspect that there's a bit of ambiguity there.
The samples in their on-line viewer can be "zoomed in" on, but looks
like it's zoomed beyond native output resolution. If they could output
1080 x 1920 stills - or close to it, that would be terrific - in fact at
the price, I'd buy one now - just to see for myself.
HD res is plenty / useful for snapshots and web use.
