January 17, 2008
Seitz have produced a digital camera capable of taking 160mp shots. Unfortunately this camera will set you back $40,000 about £20,000.
- Create a high-resolution (160 million pixel) 6×17 digital scan in just one second
- Capture action thanks to a minimum exposure speed of 1/2000 sec. (per pixel) - images full of speed, motion and life!
- Benefit from an outstanding image quality in virtually all light situations:
- 16-bit per channel (48-bit RGB) colour depth
- anti-blooming
- low noise
- dynamic range of 1:2,600 (11 f-stops)

How about the size of the camera itself?
All I can say is Oh My God!
give it a couple years, nanotech will have these in our phones…
looks like a rocketlauncher scope on that thing … impressive
dude! f**k the camera! Does anybody else see this “Legend of Dragoon”? I haven’t seen an advert for a PS1 game since I was 15!! wtf??
WTF is the point??
how did he take the pictures
This article is mistaken. Seitz own site makes no claims of being able to freeze motion. 1/2000 sec per pixel means a minimum scan time of 10.6+ seconds. This might be able to take pictures of glass before it could deform over time, but can “freeze” little other motion.
My 4×5 will shoot a minimum of 1/500th total exposure and it will resolve 180mp.
Btw those hand holds are for precisely positioning the camera on a tripod–NOT for handheld shots. Unless you can hand hold a 10 second shot.
This technology is pointless, since it it meant for a studio and who in their right mind needs panoramic studio shots?
Do they have a pocket size version?

In a word, impractical.
