Look at the digital camera in the picture, lifted by the guy with two hands. Looks pretty heavy right? Yes, it has to be heavy in order to give you a super huge resolution in megapixels. The camera is capable of 160 megapixels in a 60mm x 170mm. Which is equivalent to 7,500 pixels vertically and 21,250 pixels horizontally.
With this super high resolution, the camera seems to have NO limit to print any size you want on Earth. The maximum size that you can print with it is even as big as Mars. Are we kidding here? Yes, one full res image produced by this camera will take up almost 1GB of storage (900MB). The camera needs to be accompanied by a tablet PC, which is dedicated for storing the images taken with it. Pictures shot using it are directly recorded to the tablet.
The super high capability is definitely associated with super high price. It carries a whopping price tag of $45,000! The downside of this guy is very obvious from the way that the guy carries it i.e big size and heavy weight.
It still can achieve a shutter speed of 1/2000 at low resolution. But it takes 1 second for the full res 160 megapixel image. Before I forget, it’s a product brought to you by brought to you by Seitz Phototechnik.

That’s absolutely amazing! Definitely the ultimate camera. I wonder what kind of settings you can play with it. More than RM135,000 for a camera? That makes top of the range professional-grade Rm20,000 DSLRs look like kids’ play.
