Seitz's 160 Megapixel Digital Camera

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the whew-i-was-worried-there dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Digital cameras had been lagging behind Moores law for a while, but Seitz has taken a massive step forward with their announcement of a 160 Megapixel digital camera! At almost 20" long, with a price tag of around $36,000, and with on-board gigabit ethernet to copy off the image it's not exactly going to take on the consumer market, but how long before we see this resolution in a mobile phone?
Even with todays current range of digital cameras massive images are possible — such as the amazing 720 Megapixel image of Sydney Harbour"

    The sysadmins that host the 720 megapixel image of Sydney are probably not going to be sending you thank-you cards, I'm guessing.

      The scary thing is how many slashdotters went back to the file and actually looked for it after you posted that,... ;-)

    That's it. Link a 720 megapixel image, on the front page of Slashdot, from an Aussie server, just as North America is getting into the office and commencing "working." ;)

    Giorgiorfr proposes that submitters and editors cut out the idiotic leading questions in their article posts. But will Slashdotters live up to their promise of being able to start a discussion on their own?
