lol, considdering that 6x4 photos are saturated at 4/5million, A4 size at 6/7million, and A3 at 8/10million pixels, i cant see any practical use for that many pixels in a camera.
i'll stick with my canon 400D thanks.
especially when you conidder, ease of use, functionality, and just generally, the fact i dont wanna carry a computer/camera.
Pardon me for pointing out, Almighty_Gir, there are other applications that you personally may not use this for, but others might. He wasn't trying to push this upon you, or sell you this product, merely pointing out that it was a neat gadget.
Its a pretty cool thing, and if you're a professional photographer, then I think it'd be of some real interest.
I dunno if it's the same technology, but i've seen a PBS "tech documentary" about a prototype digicam and the results were mind blowing, details kept appearing each time they zoomed in. Yes i know that's what you'd expect but still, it was pretty cool! :P.

What if you want to print something at hires on this thing:
Immediately after processing, each 9" x 18" exposure is digitally scanned then archived in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. All processing and printing are performed on the resulting one to four gigapixel digital scan. Therefore, the tangible output of the cameraand all that we ever see and work withis a digital image at one to four billion pixels in size.

Good god!
That is huge and ugly!

from the FAQ:
Why quote 'pixels' when you use film?
