This picture (click link below) was taken with a 70,000 x 30,000 pixel camera (2100 Mega Pixels.) These cameras are not sold to the public and are being installed in strategic locations. Facial recognition software is to be used to identify a face among a multitude of people. Place your computer’s cursor in the mass of people and double-click a couple times (or 'finger-spread' on a device.) Scary sharp!! George Orwell must be smiling somewhere out there.

I would like to have a camera like that. Would be great for certain beaches.

Why go to the expense of the trip? You could just take the photo of Antarctica from your front porch.
Maybe Sara Palin got judged way too soon..................... maybe she did see Russia from her house.

I'm impressed, but ...............where's Waldo? No way is he not in there some place.

Is this guy a Siamese twin of some kind? Really odd, because nothing around these guys seems distorted, just the two faces.

On the back of that Jumbotron screen. It looks like it needs some maintenance.
..................while homeland security looks for terrorists, the screen is gonna tip over and squish 200 people as flat as a map of Nebraska.

First one like this I saw was of Obama's inauguration aken from a long ways away............ I think it was 160 below zero that day. Scroll down to the image below the Presidential plane.

Looks like from what Nick just posted, the technology has increased immensely since then.

You can do something pretty elaborate, quality wise without as much money as you might think.
Certainly not cheap, but imagine the clairity you could achieve by stitching hundreds of small photos into one huge poster print.
