Yes, but those shots all have something well in the foreground (like well under a metre away from the camera) and way in the background. I'd like to see a shot taken with that camera with a subject at, say, 5m away, and the other at 10m away. My guess is that the depth of field would be so great at that focus distance (for that lens and sensor) that both would be near enough to be in focus anyway. ie there's no need for the adjusting the focus afterwards.

I understand what it does, refocusing after the image is taken. What I'm saying is that for most shots taken with such a camera, you probably wouldn't need to refocus it. The shots they've posted are exaggerated to show of its capabilities, but at the end of the day, it seems like a bit of a gimmick for now. Perhaps the technology will develop into something more extensible, who knows.
