Check out this amazing camera – it has a 112 megapixel sensor that literally dwarfs any sensor you or I have in our cameras! It’s also a black and white only camera – but I’m betting it leaves the Leica M Monochrom for dead in terms of quality and price!
Want to see it made? Zeke makes a call for people to let them know if you want to see it made and then tested by photographers – it would certainly be pretty cool.

Mo’ megapixels, mo’ problems.

But in that case, it is not only more MP, it is most of all a very larger CCD / CMOS so in that case, more MP can really make a difference!

I agree BK. More MP on a small sensor equals noise. More MP on a huge sensor equals visual bliss! Think 35mm vs. medium format.

YES! YES! I’d love to see this in action! I’d spend ****loads of money to but one of these! Just one question though; how many pictures would my 64gb card hold lol.

the RAW images would be about 180MB in size. So if you do the math, about 384 pictures in beautiful RAW format, of course if you do the RAW+JPG that would be about 280 pictures. You should be able tot ake a nice 5-10 minute break between each frame too, so its a nice and slow shooting pace.

Is RAW as useful when shooting black and white? Maybe this question may sound dumb but I’m not really used to RAW advantages…

RAW is very useful, but very much so where this camera is used. JPEG compression loses data and may create artifacts. This camera is intended for scientific use, so the user would definitely use RAW to store the data. It may not be RAW as Canon or Nikon define it- RAW may just be a 2-D array of values representing light intensity for this camera/software drivers.

If it’s only an artifact problem, why not simply use Lossless TIFF?

The more MP the better as a landscape shooter. I’d love to see it. But only if it were at a sensible price, which no doubt it wouldn’t be so I’ll have to stick to stitching
