A Digital Back for Ansel?
A report of a 100+ megapixel sensor at Luminous Landscape:
The CCD device, which measures approximately four inches by four inches, has a total resolution of over 111 million pixels (10,560 pixels x 10,560 pixels at 9µm). It is the world’s first imager to break the 100 million pixel barrier.
Almost more interesting than the 111 million pixel figure is the 4″ x 4″ size. Can you say “digital view camera?” I thought you could.
Of course, this thing is no doubt absurdly expensive – but the absurdly expensive becomes widespread and affordable sooner than you might imagine these days.
