Any camera with ISO greater 6400, 12800?

Is this technically possible? ;p

Even the 3200 in most cameras is actually done using software in-camera on the RAW data, so I would guess that 6400, 12800, etc would be possible in the same way. The question would be - why would you want to - you can achieve the same result during conversion.

imo, technologically... it's not impossible... in fact i'm expecting something beyond that in a decade to come.. reason could be the scene of commercial giants battling for more improved ccd/cmos, software, that keeps the pace of invention going steadily....

ISO sensitivity is not done in-camera by means of RAW data.

Maybe those camera use by the spy have this technology; who knows?;p

Something like a pocket camera that's so small and can take photos of confidential documents without utilising flash in those spy movies.

It is actually possible now if you use film. Ilford delta 3200 can be pushed to iso12800. People do this to achieve the high contrast B&W effect. Ie, the photographs consist mainly black or white. Grey is not very much included. Correct me if i am wrong.

Ya film camera even have ISO 12800 for metering. For example Canon A1

They use lithographic film, which means that sensitivity may be there but it's just black or white, nothing in between.

True for normal ISO sensitivity but he was referring to 3200 and in particular the Canon's DSLRs like 20D.
