When the previously unknown and aptly named company Light unveiled their L16 “Multi-Aperture Computational Camera” back in October, 2015, the device was heralded as a pocket-size technological wonder that would compete with modern DSLRs in a number of ways. And now, after several upgrades and delays, the L16 is finally shipping to pre-order customers.
