Pros & Cons
Pros
The only people who seem to dislike it are the ultra-purist photo crowd. The lytro is a very good deal for those of us interested in photography and technology.
Lytro is an entirely new product by a startup. The desktop software has a bit of a learning curve, but there are a lot of cool features. Would like to have a android app to edit and share on the go.

The semi3d aspect or the playing with refocus photos hold limited interest

If you accept what it is and take advantage of what it offers its a fine camera
