It's not, and that's the main problem with this camera. I'm not taking away from its absolutely extraordinary achievement, because it is that, but there's a reason why all the demo shots have multiple subjects set far apart in the depth of field - because this is this camera's one trick pony. It takes fairly mediocre shots of any other type and is reportedly quite fiddly and unwieldy to use. HOWEVER: this is a camera that will get better over time as lytro release firmware that will bring serious upgrades to the camera. It's also 1st gen - it will get incrementally better with each new hardware revision. But it's not a serious challenger for high end DSLRs just yet.
