See, I’m not sure what’s more disturbing. The fact it was created, the price it sells for (which is more than some new cars) , or the fact people will buy it.
Originally posted by Steve I thought trillian was selling it for a second, there.
I never really understood the whole megapixel thing.
Well, think of it this way: there are about 1024x768 to 600x800 pixels for the current standard of screen resolution, right? One megapixel has 1 million pixels. This camera takes pictures that have 16 million pixels.
We had to look up digital cameras specs on different websites for my pc repair class, and the guy that sat across from me found that on the Kodak site…I swear it reminded me of that one scene from Blade Runner. O_o
Juudging from the site name and price, I believe this is more of a professional grade camera.
Add to that that if I’m correct in remembering about televisions, and if monitors are anything like them, 16 MPixels (that is, the 4080 x4080) wouls PROBABLY not be very large, or hard to get onto a sensor of any decent size. If I recall, the image from the television (monitor) has to be magnified a bit after being translated.
Or I could ahve no idea what the hell I’m talking about. Either way that camera is impressive, if a bit pricey for standard proessional use outside of perhaps scientific work and pic-heavy mags (National Geographic, Playboy, any modeling mag, etc)
