An interesting video worth checking out as we all race towards our 'need' for the
biggest and best capture.

That is awesome. I did quite a lot of pinhole photography during my recently completed photography degree following a workshop with Justin Quinnel (http://www.pinholephotography.org/) but that really is taking it to the extreme. Love it!

Love the tilt feature of the camera!  Pretty process and vision.

That's the equivalent of etching the 1's and 0's into each pixel on a DB!

So how many megapixels is that?

I love the work that guy does. It does inspire and takes you back down to earth.

It reminds me a little about the comment you sometimes get when you shoot film on a job and people who have only shot digital "But how do you know you get a good picture?". Sometimes it feels like we get a bit lazy with the digital age and can start to forget that people have been taking pictures like this for hundreds of years now. We have only had proper digital cameras for what, 10 years?

Now... which manifacturer will create a digital back mount for this ?

(oh, and i will avoid the bad pun about this being the REAL Auto-Focus (since its driven by an AutoMobile :D

Nice work, (maybe could do similar with a 8x10 camera?). Yesterday I found another curious link about (this time, yes) mega and pixels. Is a panoramic viewer for gigapixel images, jus't can't find the company.

Nothing new, panoramas have been around for decades, gigapixel images too,  they just go improving, new interfaces, new ways of communicating.

Okay, forget I asked that!!!!!!!
