No More AF is Needed, Out-focus or Not, the Camera Records it All!

I first read this Engadget report few days ago, then Dpreview has also reported it yesterday. So, I did more research about what it is. Frankly, in the very beginning, I was a bit susceptible that if it is yet another paper/vapourware that will have no real product come into the world and never.
