Supercameras Could Capture Never-Before-Seen Detail
A supercamera that can take gigapixel pictures — that's 1,000 megapixels — has now been unveiled.
Researchers say these supercameras could have military, commercial and civilian applications, and that handheld gigapixel cameras may one day be possible.- Jun 20, 12, 6:44 p.m. – Permalink

"handheld gigapixel cameras may one day be possible."
Why would anyone need a 1,000mp camera? All people do is upload their photos to Facebook. The amount of pixel power for handheld cameras has been growing without justification for years...
You've got a 12mp camera, and all you really need is 800px wide photo.

"The camera is quite large, measuring 29.5 by 29.5 by 19.6 inches (75 by 75 by 50 centimeters), a size required by the space currently needed to cool its electronics and keep them from overheating."
- ach, i'll just wait for the iPhone App to be released.

I'd be curious about the lens.... and/or some technical way they get beyond the diffraction limit... diffraction limits a lens's maximum sharpness long before you hit a gigapixel....
most compact camera lenses diffraction limit around F7.1 at 12 megapixels, even the Hasselblad's get diffraction limited under 100 megapixels af F11 or so,....
maybe there's some really new lens tech?
