A Picture is Worth 4 Million Words

Gigapxl, the ginormous camera made from decomissioned cold-war military hardware.

Subject to the limitations of human vision, a minimum of 8 square inches of print area is needed to convey the information contained in a 1-megapixel image. When scaled to 1000 megapixels, the minimum print area becomes 50 square feet. For prints made from our 9"×18" format, this equates to a print which has a height of 5 feet and a width of 10 feet. Likewise, a 4000-megapixel print has dimensions of 10 feet by 20 feet. Meanwhile, close-up sharpness matches that of a 4"×6" print from a 3-megapixel digital camera.

Hey, what's that over there?
