I think that this must be on of the highest res straight to digital cameras (the 1 gigapixel camera mentioned elsewhere was to film that was scanned).
144 Mega Pixel Camera
Reminds me of some pages I read a few years ago about people turning scanners into cameras when digital cameras were v expensive - with some interesting results!

| this is a composite camera, with multiple sensors |

I think that it is more in the vein of an optical scanner:
"The usual digital method is to take multiple shots and stitch them together, but they have combined new and old technology to solve the problem.
Rob Howard says: "The way this system works is that there is a motor underneath the camera, and the whole camera swings through the arc of the picture. "
Not sure if that is what you meant.

yes sorry, I meant multiple sensor passes and "stiching". But in fact, "fly eye" sensor systems also exist. |

| Will the price of the 6 and 8 megapixel cameras drop now? I hope so! |

Seems to have limited use for non-motion subject matter, especially for architectural, as the article points out, but maybe for landscape as well. Although I can see problems with changing available light since capture takes minutes.
I guess a camera like this will also eliminate the problems associated with interpolation from using a bayer pattern sensor since the three color channels are scanned seperately.

bayer patterns are not much of an issue anymore with B/y and C/R correction easily applied |

| What is B/Y and C/R correction? Anything to do with LAB color space? |

no, it's the Blue/yellow alignement and the Cyan/red alignment in raw mode...great to realign slight chromatic shifts/abherations. |

Thanks Gil...since I don't shoot or edit in RAW I had no idea what you were talking about. Will have to do some serious upgrading of my equipment before I can.

Hey, no worries... the B/y and C/r alignements are things you want to stay away from...even when you know the software! |
