I hate looking at things I can't have. :(

But, when shooting with this one, you have to get a new computer (Power Mac), LOTS of disc-space, lots of memory and lots of money ;)

Nah, can't afford that in a lifetime ;)

Well, the GOOD news is that it only has a 1.1fps frame rate. That at least "tames" its thirst for memory and drive space a little...

Give camera makers another 5 or so years and that 50mp will be in a full frame DSLR, for abotu 2500.00.

Oh yeah, I want one, so do you, admit it.

Yeah I cannot wait for 50mp on a full-frame sensor, then I can have pictures like the following...

I only use mine to hold the door open or let the dogs play with it. Its a cheap toy really. I much prefer the REAL artistic latitude I get from my cropped sensor and 5fps. :P

Anyone want to go splitsies! We can alternate weeks if we can get 52 of use that wouldn't be too bad.

For one week I think I can better rent one ;)

I won't be impressed untill I see a photo that you can't make with any of our cameras..

or maybe I'm just dumb...but what the heck are you going to do with a 50mp image..besides make a print for a billboard:P

Let's see... I delivered a beautifully detailed 24"x36" poster yesterday which was created by my dinky little 10.1mp Canon 1D Mark III. At effectively 4 times the resolution, I should be able to deliver a 48"x72" poster with equal resolution. I still want one. :-)

I would much rather have larger pixels thereby better range and noise than more pixels. That said, I can see a point to that many mp to be able to crop the image into several regular size photos, with 50mp you can crop to 20% of the image and still have a 10mp image. Use it with a fish eye and you can crop to zoom in on parts, combine it with a 600mm lens and get like a 5000mm out of it. It has lots of applications there, just, it is a bad trend of packing more and more megapixels onto sensors, sighs...
