CNN) -- An auto-focus camera? Not new. Not exciting.

A camera that lets you focus after you've already taken the photo? And lets you focus anywhere within the image you want? That's got people talking and, according to its creator, is the start of "a picture revolution."

Oh yeah -- it can also transfer a regular photo to 3-D.

Lytro, a company launched Tuesday by 31-year-old entrepreneur Ren Ng, promises that camera will be released soon.

"I am thrilled to finally draw back the curtain and introduce our new light field camera company, one that will forever change how everyone takes and experiences pictures," Ng wrote on the startup's blog. "Lytro's company launch is truly the start of a picture revolution."

Apparently, some sharks are buying the buzz. Lytro has reportedly already raised $50 million in venture capital, an impressive feat for a company that just debuted.

*The cameras are now available for sale. You can purchase your lytro for $399 through their website, lytro.com

Streetwise: Masters of 60’s Photography
Organized by the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego, CA
Monday, October 3, 2011 – Sunday, January 22, 2012
Knight Gallery
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 6 from 6-9pm

Streetwise builds on what Swiss photographer Robert Frank began with his new “snapshot aesthetic”, which was brought to the foreground with the domestic release of his ground breaking book The Americans, in January 1960. His focus on a more personal documentary style would influence a new generation of photographers—Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, Jerry Berndt, Ruth-Marion Baruch, Garry Winogrand, Bruce Davidson, Danny Lyon, and Ernest Withers, all of whom are featured in Streetwise alongside Frank. A catalogue published by Modernbook, which includes an essay by consulting guest curator Andy Grundberg, will be available.

Intent on redefining the nation based on what they saw, documentary photographers were increasingly concerned with revealing a more realistic, sometimes dire, but always challenging view of an America undergoing change. Ranging from the “outlaw culture” of bikers and chain gangs; Boston’s red light district known as the Combat Zone; Black Panthers; the gritty streets and neighborhoods of New York; the politically charged South; to the America’s darker subcultures. Many of these photographers spent time with their subjects and wanted their photographs to represent the larger narrative of actual events.
