"However, as technology has advanced, the bar has been raised to 4,000 megapixels; a figure that we expect to reach within the next several months." --- I WANT ONE!!!!

I like the "PORTRAIT OF AMERICA" idea, that would be in one shot, correct?

As far as I know, each picture is just "one shot." The camera is a composite of multiple sensors, etc. It's pretty cool. Fully zoomed in...it could definitely use a run through Neat Image :-)...but when you have 4,000 megapixels to work with, I don't think there's anything to complain about.

It's a film camera. I should start calling my pentax 67 a 85mp camera...

Now that is funny. |

yeah, film, they just scan it in at extremely high resolution.

Digital scanning of 9"×18" negatives has been performed on two CCD-based scanners; these being the LH Systems model DSW500 and the Vexcel Imaging model VX4000DT. The DSW500 employs a 2044×2056 Kodak MegaPlus 4.2i CCD and provides resolution which can be varied continuously from 50 to 250 pixels/mm. Correspondingly, the 768×494 CCD in the VX4000DT provides resolution to 118 pixels/mm. For purposes of scanning Gigapxl™ test negatives, we have used resolutions of 50 and 80 pixels/mm. While the VX4000DT’s format of 10"×20" permits a 9"×18" negative to be scanned in a single step, the 10"×10" format of the DSW500 calls for a pair of separately scanned areas to be spliced in software. Such splicing has, however, proven to be straightforward. Meanwhile, the larger CCD of the DSW500 provides a distinct advantage in terms of scanning speed; the time required to scan a 9"×18" negative at 80 pixels/mm being 19 minutes, compared with 90 minutes for the VX4000DT. As a consequence, most of the Gigapxl™ images scanned to date have been done on the DSW500. |
19 minute scan @_@
