Saddened that Lytro does not ship to Canada

For those who don't know, Lytro is the first of its kind that allows you to reprocess a photo after it's already been taken. For example, if you increased your depth of field (DOF) and only focused on the foreground, you can later go into the settings of your camera and refocus the background to be in focus, taking the foreground out of focus... how cool is that!? It uses the light field technology to capture all the light in the space you're capturing... (it gets a bit technical, but remember that light is what creates beautiful pictures:). The camera is also f2 throughout, so it's mega sharp, but the DOF is also really big.

Here's what it looks like...
I'm saddened that Lytro is not shipping their products to Canada... as I signed up for their early bird notice... see the email I got below:

Here's a video and link to an article that illustrates how Lytro works (if you click on the link, click on one of the photos once to refocus the image... it's quick cool!):


Again... bummed out... but maybe in the next month they will change that... hopefully!
