That will goes into the reverse sensor & camera on my truck
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:02 pmMaybe we should hang on to our Hasselblads a little longer. 100 million pixels on the back of the blad would be a serious contender for a 10 x 8 full plate camera.

hmmmm....100 megapixel
You can get a 39 megapixel Hassy now
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:37 pmThe sensor measures 4" x 4" 
That makes even a Hasselblad look puny... I guess they have to wait for the 1.5x crop version

Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:42 pmYou have to love the Astronomers, always pushing the envelope and asking for more pixels and less noise. They have the budgets to make these happen and the toys they get to play with are always expensive because they are the early adopters of the technology and have to pay for the privelage. The first astronomy ccd camera that I used at the observatory was a sbig st7, electronically cooled, under a megapixel and cost 7 grand in 1999.
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:44 pmMaths isn't my strong suit, but if a 12 megapixel camera in RAW captures a 19 meg file, does that mean that a 100 megapixel sensor will capture a 158 megapixel RAW file?
That would mean that a 4 Gig card will capture 25 shots......ouch. That 16Gig card is looking more attractive.

If a 22 megapixel Hassy is approx $22k than 100 megapixel would be

Astronomers dont usually bother with CF cards
I know some surveys use very large HDDs, they put a new one in for each night's data.
Here on our NEO survey with a 4K X 4K CCD we compress our data (up to 800 32GB images plus various other files), usually it just fits on 2DVDs per night.
