Look at graphs.

For SLRs, the Canon 1DsMKII basically has film covered, but only if you disregard the Bayer filter and the fact that 16MP is interpolated.

On the other hand, a 16MP camera using Foveon sensor technology would be truly 16MP.

Some of our cameras use 3-shot technology with a color-changing LCD filter in front of the chip. It would be cool to see if something similar could be developed for more casual use. Obviously its really only useful for capture of still objects.

actually the porn industry is against HD resolutions for photos and video because it shows too much, they cant hider inperfections such as scars and stuff, and actually razor burn shows up WAY to much on HD

That's interesting - I never considered that

neither had I they were talking about it on teh raido the other day

What would be a good printable size in inches (or feet with this thing) for a 39mp photo?

Board posters etc can use less dpi as people tend to not view them up close and they are passing by.

I know, but not quite what I was asking. I worked in the signage industry for 4 years, I'm well aware of dpi. I just want to know what would be considered the largest printable size without a discernable loss in quality without adjustment to the dpi.

4080 x 5440 pixels? my god...i dont even know of a monitor capable of displaying that.

There are some pro medium-format digital sensors that have built in micro-actuators.

These will shift the entire sensor by 1 pixel (in horizontal or vertical directions) - so, with 3 exposures and a Bayer sensor, it is possible to combine the exposures so that every pixel has a red, green and blue exposure.

The advantage of this over a panchromatic sensor and filter set is that if, high resolution is not required, it can be operated as a standard Bayer sensor.

I think there are some sensors that can also do 'half-pixel' shifting, allowing for quadruple the resolution.

Edit - heh. Checked your brochure. That's exactly what your products do!

maybe in 3 years, it'll be pocket size for under $500?

And the eyelashes just look gross. I'm not a fan of makeup.

serious question ... why the hell would one need that high of a resolution?

LOL yeah, that's our Flex camera. It actually does quarter-pixel shifting, taking 16 full frames from the 4 MP sensor to produce a 64 MP image. At 14-bit those TIF files can get pretty big.

I'm really excited about our new "Boost" camera. It features a back-illuminated EMCCD that is capable of unreal sensitivity and speeds. The 16-bit 512x512 model lists for almost $40K.

But now I'm just bragging...

For printing something like 4 foot by X foot fine art prints that will probably sell for $500+ each, at the very very least.

I once went to the Ansel Adams gallery at Yosemite and they had a wall of these prints... absolutely stunning.

Reminds me of the movie Blowup. Someone hunched over the computer wouldn't have quite the same cinematic effect...

Fashion and commercial work.

Jeff Chen uses a Hasselblad H2 with a Phase One P45 back. He does some great landscape work with it.
