While you and I are happy gloating about our 8.1 megapixel digicams and 5 megapixel camera phones, the big boys out there are rocking things in a league so far ahead of ours. Leading the pack is Phase One who has just announced the 60.5-megapixel P 65+ digital back and camera system. That effectively means images with 8,984 x 6,732 pixels res which equals 180MB, 8-bit RGB files! Using Sensor+ CCD technology, the cam can give pro photographers higher sensitivity and expanded dynamic range (12.5 f-stops when most cameras go up to 8) as well as 20 percent more live capture area (as compared with 39 megapixel or 50 megapixel 48mm-by-36mm chips currently available or announced) available with coverage of 53.9mm by 40.4mm, enabling full viewfinder coverage and no need for lens magnification. Of course all this megapixel and fine photography goodness costs megabucks too with the P 65+ digital back starting at $39,900 and the P 65+ camera system starting at $41,990 and if you want it, you might be able to get when sometime in Q4 this year.
