An example is the Lytro cameras, such as the Lytro (1st generation).
A light field camera can have a light field sensor and a light field viewfinder that doubles as a display for viewing photos from memory.
OTOY has shown a light field camera system using two DSLRs that acted as a spherical rolling shutter. OTOY's system used post processing and was suited to virtual reality. This was done in the year 2015.[1]
A lightfield camera can be made by putting a microlens array in front of a standard camera.[2]
