Amazing 5.5 Gigapixel Image

[dilbert]

Think your 10 megapixel camera is high resolution? Think again!

This is a 5.5 gigapixel image, stitched together from lots of smaller images to make 1 large photo:

You can zoom all the way in to things that aren't even visible in full picture mode. I hope these cameras come in pocket form one day.

I've seen one of these cameras (or something similar) in Leicester Square, London. It was on a tripod with a motor that spun a pro camera round to take lots of photos from several angles. Very clever.

There's another good image of the Obama Inauguration on this link:

This is amazing i want one, i saw it on the gadget show and was so amazed by what it could do. Does anyone know how much they cost?

WOW this is just too cool - I am just now viewing this thread

Joke for the day
Does anyone need a 5.5 gigapixel for their desktop screenshot?
If you do what are you using for a Graphics Adaptor and Monitor? :lol:
