From the article :
"Dalsa Semiconductor has fabricated an image sensor with more than 111 million pixels. The company claims the 4 x 4-inch charge-coupled device, configured as 10,560 x 10,560 pixels, is the world's highest-resolution image sensor and the first to break the 100 million-pixel barrier."

Sounds like a MF/LF sensor to me.

Their Sensor size is 4" by 4" in size. Not sure even a medium format camera can fit this sensor. This sensor look more for military use or for arial photgraphy.

fit it onto a LF loh. those are 4x5 so 4x4 should not be a probelm

Don't think any computer in the market can even wanna to try to post process a single image.......:sweat:

Need probably a super computer like Blue Gene?

"STA developed the chip for the Astrometry Department of the U.S. Naval Observatory with funding from the Navy's Small Business Innovation Research program. Dalsa manufactured the device for STA at its wafer fabrication facility in Bromont, Quebec."

this says what it's meant for =)

and I thought a gigapixel sensor was already operational for several years already? http://www.gigapxl.org :dunno:

 

[AReality]

So who will be the 1st one to grab it when it's on the shelf?

[mpenza]

why drool? 3MP is more than enough for most people (just like 35mm film is more than enough for most!). few people print larger than 8R/A4.

:nono: for me 4mpix is my minimum....

becos i got lousy composition skills and always crop a lot in PP.. :sweat:
