Wow... 160 megapixels...
High res or what? :P

[st7860]

Wow... 160 megapixels...
High res or what? :P

yes. the res is so high the camera needs to use gigabit ethernet INSIDE the camera to transfer the picture from the sensor to a hard drive.

[ak-47]

meh 500 ISO

[LiquidX]

What a deal I just ordered 10. OMGZ :lol:

[st7860]

meh 500 ISO

thats the minimum iso. it says it can do up to 10,000 iso/asa

[hyperion]

Picked up 3, great stocking stuffer.

Honestly, if it was priced at $2,000 would any of us buy it?

HAHAHAAA.... i think that's a tad too big :D :D

[Vegeta88]

Picked up 3, great stocking stuffer.

[redi2roc]

LOL WOW for that price this thing better do X-Ray Vision photos!!

[t3359]

I wonder if Maxtor makes a 20 Tera-byte HD in the Compact-Flash profile :)

I need to hold at least 10 photos!

:lol:

[Drthorne]

without lens... not a hot deal... now if the lens came with it

[Sonbuster]

will this fit in my front shirt pocket? :)

[Composter]

Na I'll wait until Sony releases a 160MP digital elf with the 6TB memory card, by then you'll be able to pick this thing up on a surprize special at ncix for $5.99

[spm24]

there is no Cf/sd card for it. the camera is just the senor everything else is ethernet wired to the storage pouch on the side. each pic uncompressed is 950 mb acording to the site.


imagine trying to load one of those pics on a mid range computer would take years just to resize it .

[TheFuteballer]

obviously this product isn't meant for the average consumer so theres no point laughing at the price/size/how long it would take to resize it.. its just a really specialized camera and it really is worth that much money

[st7860]

you can see the sample shots, instant panoramas. wow

[akito925]

fits right in my back pocket! lol
better have a nice bag with it!

this would be good.. some stranger would take pictures for you, and will never think of stealing it.. hahaha

[spm24]

do they have a huge huge one like the old gigapixel project?

[steve.m]

lol comically huge

http://www.roundshot.ch/pictures/Seitz-6x17-handheld.jpg

looks like something to be sold at factorydirect for $35 in 10 years.

[gordholio]

Of course they're going to be excellent pictures. What would you expect from a camera costing more than many houses in Newfoundland?

[HughG]

my question is why is K-Fed holding the camera ?

i wonder is britney bought him one for his bday.

[kingsley]

yes. the res is so high the camera needs to use gigabit ethernet INSIDE the camera to transfer the picture from the sensor to a hard drive.

uhh...that's just stupid.

That might *sound* like a really cool thing but infact it is not. Gigabit ethernet itself is not very fast. Also ethernet is designed for long range transmissions, something the camera does not need internally.

They could've used something like SATA2 or PCI-E for faster internal transmission.

[CodecX81]

Not bad..

The pictures would be.. 16000x10240 . Weird aspect ratio, but yea... I agree with the gigabit connection, kinda silly.

For 38k and since its such a big size, I would've used a laptop harddrive for its memory, and bundled it with its own external chasis.... it'd be like a "SuperSD card" ;)

huh it says right on the page:
7,500 pixels vertically and 21,250 pixels horizontally

I was thinking the same thing. Just look at all the mega super expensive electronic items from 1996 and tell me how many have retained their value. They are all obsolete. $15,000 Pioneer 1x DVD-R anybody?

[hagbard]

Probably worth every penny if you're business is doing large billboards or for any large photographic display (building sized photos anyone?).

[2000fordfocus]

http://www.roundshot.ch/pictures/Seitz-6x17-handheld.jpg

does it come with image stabilization??

[sonick]

it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO big!That's what SHE said.

[BillStarr]

That's what SHE said.


ZING!!!!!! :cheesygri

[mlerner]

wow.. 160 megapixels?? Unless you're going to photograph the planet you don't need that much.

[JAC]

my question is why is K-Fed holding the camera ?

i wonder is britney bought him one for his bday.
Yep, he needs the wide angle lens to take nudie shots of her fat ass.

[ShadowVlican]

http://www.roundshot.ch/pictures/Seitz-6x17-handheld.jpg

with an ISO upto 10,000.... it doesn't NEED image stabilization ;)

that's probably what this camera is for... printing insanely large photographs

nasa wouldn't use this... they have their own crazy stuff ;)

The lens is bigger than a baby's head...

[CameraBill]

Aerial photographs? Microscopes?

The question is, does it record movie clips and with or without sound.
