Ever wonder what a really good image looks like? Wouldn't it be nice if the G series could produce these images? Of course, it wouldn't fit in your jeans pocket, and might cost an arm and a leg...or two. Pixel peepers would be happier...maybe.

But then our G cameras would have cost 2 to 3 times what they did.

It can much the same way this camera makes the 80mp image only BIGGER pictures. Check out the Gigapan system.

Will give you some impressively massive pictures from your G series for just a few hundred bucks. http://www.gigapan.org (external link)

If you're willing to walk a lot, you probably could do even better than those crops.

Just sayin'

Another opinion, but this time "only" 39MP vs 14.7MP...and three years ago.
