Can anyone explain to me what this would be used for? I work with a lot of professional photographers who only use a 10 megapixel Canon Digital SLR camera. 10 Megapixels is fine. 10 MP can do a lot. Now what on Earth would people do with a 39 megapixel camera? I can see if it shot video as well at the 39 megapixel resolution, but it can't even do that. If it did shoot video I would imagine it would be a cheaper competitor to the Red camera. Can anyone enlighten me on this new piece of cra....um, technology? |

I assume there are pretty understandable uses for it... I mean... I don't have a clue in heck what they would be. but people need insanely detailed images of things, I'm sure, and this would be useful in that context :| haha I don't know, wait until they hit the market and see if any news articles disucss it maybe...

Hmm.... I don't see how the details on a 10MP camera would not be enough. The camera's chassis aren't that attractive, it looks like an old video camera. I feel that if I were to take pictures with that in public, I'd be pretty embarassed. Even if I say I have a 39 MP camera, what's the point of having that much.

I have an 8 MP camera that provides us with beautiful shots. When we do 11 X 17 print outs they are fabulous. However if you want to do large format photography I can see where 39 MP would be a benefit. For example, right now we're designing artwork for the side of a truck. It's 10' high.

Yea that's the kind of example I was thinking of, just wanting to be able to go straight from photo's to MASSIVE printouts for commercial purposes. I couldn't think of any off the top of my head but that would make sense, the more MP you get the bigger you can blow it up easily. Seems simple enough  Oh, and I'm pretty sure they don't intend this camera to be used by the average users, since it's going to be so expensive and it is, as you said, and odd form factor. They know its going to be for specialty use so there isn't a real need to make it pretty.

Curious ... how much is it anyway? I can't even imagine the memory card it would take *grin*. My camera at full resolution will give us a 22Meg TIFF file. (But even a 7 or 8 Meg JPG looks great.)

Haha, my camera is 3.2 Megapixels Not. Yeah, but this camera would probably be very useful for large-format photographers. And like the other person said "Amateur aerial shots" is quite right, that would be splendidly useful for that. Though, I doubt many people will buy it, it probably being in the high hundreds to low thousands price range. I'm not quite sure what large format photographers use today. But they are probably in the know-abouts of this already anyway.

As previously said many times, 10 MP is quite enough for any pro photographer. You'd think if you needed better quality and better resolutions you would just stick with film. If you really have to do large billboard size prints, film would be the cheaper way to go. I can't even begin to imagine what the memory cards would costs for one of these. That's a pretty funny thought. A 2 gig memory card holding about only 20 pictures. Forget about a photoshoot. You'd need a backpack full of memory units to be able to go on a wild shooting spree. (Somehow that sounds violent, shooting spree?) Heh, maybe the US government could use these cameras to take some nice, high resolution photos of supposed weapon stockpiles being hidden by certain enemies of the country. With technology like this, there's no reason why we should have pictures of stuff like this. Actually, with this thought in mind, what about satellites? They couldnt use this camera itself, but the technology that went inside of this camera could be translated into something space-worthy to take high resolution pictures of planet surfaces. Does anyone have any information about who makes the lenses for this camera?

Yeah post production with a +39 is probably easy to remove blemishes and other artifacts, but the processing overhead must be a lot, not to mention the time required when your are editing. I did a wedding in the evening with 10MP DSLR recently. The noise was adequate for the using an external flash+diffuser bouncing off the ceiling. When I was editing them in the PC it seemed okay for web posting and viewing on a monitor but when they were sent out to print they had all sorts of artifacts going on. I had to go back to the jpegs. Debate creating a new jpeg from the original or take the time with the RAW file (I don't have the best PC for handling 10MP RAW files). I then analyzed my work flow and tried to eliminate certain steps I did not need, don't go to bold on the S-Curves (cause the pictures were dark), and setup my monitor to closely mimics the color lab's output, I then had plan on compensated for the loss of sharpness and quality by introducing various types of noise before finally saving. I'm sure a higher mega pixel camera would of definitely helped provided I had a good post editing machine. I'd settle for any Hasselblad camera.

I find it a bit odd that the OP states that his 10 MP is "good enough" but then goes on to indicate that film is better. Thus it seems logical that aquiring a better resolution is a good thing. Let's factor in digital photo manipulation as well. When manipulating images more pixels are always better, assuming your machine can handle it.

The amount of megapixels is only part of the equation. You need good lenses, of course. The CCD (I believe that's what it's called) the part that captures the image itself needs to be high quality. I saw a guy's cell phone camera with 2 megapixels compared to a regular point and shoot at 2 megapixels, and the point and shoot had a better lens and CCD, therefore came out with a much nicer picture, despite the same megapixel size. Above all else, you need a good photographer handling your 39 megapixel beauty

I do not see much point in having a 39MegaPixel camera. Yes, Benfromsac does have a point when he says the difference, however small, is just noticable, I don't think the small difference these would make when viewed at a size other than 50x50 feet would be very easy to notice.
