9.85 Giga pixels anyone?



A group of clever Italians have captured a fresco at a measly 9.85 GIGA PIXLES.....

What is that I hear you saying?
"Hey moron, there is no camera that exists to day with a sensor containing 9.85 BILLION PIXELS! What crack are you smoking?"
And you would be correct. However this didn't stop them taking a regular 12MP camera, and then taking a bunch of individual frames and stitching them together. (and by a bunch i mean 1188 frames)

check it out, it's all in Italian so if you can't read Italian, well you get the idea, as they say pictures speak louder then words, and pictures that have billions of pixels in them speak even louder.

I am looking forward to the day when i can get a camera with 10 billon pixels. What would i do with it? I have no idea, but it would still be awesome.
