It only costs $35 million, is car-sized and has 74 CCD sensors in it.

I wonder when that kind of technology will be available in a hand held? (thinking back to when computers were the size of houses and how long they took to be hand held)

Impressive.

They're pretty impractical, but digital scanning backs for still photography are over 100MP I think. And ordinary digital backs are up to 60MP.

Won't be long before you don't have to cringe at people in movies near-infinitely zooming in to a photo saying 'enhance top left'!

Paraphrasing BLADE RUNNER. Good excuse to watch it again.
