I just read this article at wired. Amazing thing that the guy built. One image has enough data to fill a DVD after scanning. I wonder what hardware/software they use for post processing, since Photoshop still has the 2 GB RAM limit, IIRC.

BTW, I should not have written digital camera in the title. When I posted, I was just comparing this resolution monster to current "high end" digital cameras. Sorry for the wrong title.

Usually, yes. But this is extraordinary and the way he built it is unique. That's indeed amazing, if you ask me.

Ask yourself: Do you really want to see every wrinkle, pimple, body hair and skin worm up close?
