I don’t intend to go too deep into this kind of extreme photography right now, but I wanted to indicate two news items that could be reflecting on the continuous trend toward larger sensors and additional pixels:
- 50 Megapixel Hasselblad H3DII-50: 36x48mm CCD sensor.
- Kodak Unveils 50-Megapixel CCD
Again, those people are keeping pixel size around 6µm (a good target to keep diffraction low and manageable).
