Better support for posting stories (albums) to blogs

It would be great to be able to share an iframe (i.e. embed) of a Story (album) in blogs.  I see that you already support doing this somewhat on the Lytro website.

It would be great if you could develop a better way to view and play with the pictures in an entire album in the flash object.  Currently, when I share a whole story on Facebook, I can only play with the first picture in the story.  If I want to view-and-play with the others, I have to click a link and do it on the Lytro web site.

I should be able to do these things directly in the flash object and stay on the site/blog in which it was posted.

I think you need a means to get feed back from real users that is less cumbersome then having us write tons of comments in various locations. You should have a active approach to getting feedback. Maybe read consumer reports. Sorry to say I agree with their access ment. I could not recommend this camera to friends, because it is too hard to use. I can hardly see the screen in the light. I have no flash for inside, and the picture looks grainy in low light. The lens cap falls off. I cannot download photos during a trip, and cannot add storage when I have taken the photos I want. I cannot transfer batches of photos to common photo software as jpegs. I cannt send the photos out in batch. I find a lot of photos still won't focus. I cannot crop or straighten a picture. I cannot put the unit in a tripod. I cannot make a timed photo. I cant tell in sunlight if I am in expert mode or not. The camera does not fit well in a pocket. Advertisements for the camera do not explain the shortcomings well. You talk about the picture as an abstract, not as the quality of the photos. I'd like a nicer picture to compensate for the difficulty of handling. You compromise a number of items, but do not give a means to back fill. That is will I ever be able to take the unit I have and use it like the guys in your add to take photos. Of the shots I took at a party only two of twenty behaved well with focus, quality, and speed. I assume what I write will help others and improve a future version of the camera, but honestly I want more value for the money I have spent, and I'd like to know what you are doing to give the customer that value, or are we your already money pocketed purchases just out of luck. This should not

Michael,

Given the extent of your feedback, I'm going to follow-up with you personally. Basically, we can do something about a few of those things, but not all of them. The bottom line is we would hate to see you go but you're still within your return period; we don't want you to feel stuck with something you are not having fun with.

Talk to you soon,
