I agree, the refocusing is somewhat gimmicky, but how would you like a 30-250mm f/2 lens that never misses focus. To me, this is where the Lytro shines. It enables you to use a lens that would be unusable with a normal sensor.

At least with the original Lytro camera I have, "never misses focus" is rather overstating the case. When the pictures come out well, they're stellar. But that constant f/2 aperture means the depth of field is minuscule, and it's surprising how often it takes pictures where none of the focal lengths you can choose from is particularly compelling.
