Gigapixel photos - 17th January

Let me ask you a question:- What is the highest resolution camera available now in the market that you can think of? 15 MP? 30 MP? or maybe 100 MP?

Well, the thing is that, high resolution cameras would definitely generate a more detailed and clear picture / photo and in the photo itself, all sorts of things and details that we'd never knew of, would appear. Sometimes, embarrassingly, even unwanted minor blemishes or wrinkles on the skin may appear (especially focused on by the feminine gender). The images with a higher resolution, would definitely be less likely to appear blur and instead be totally sharp even to the most minuscule detail. My point is, in a photo, there is only so much a human eye can see and capture.

How about if the camera has a resolution of 17 GP or even 26 GP?
That's approximately 1000 times or more resolution than the current available market cameras. Imagine that! 1000 times sharper and you can zoom in to see even dirt or microscopic details (maybe even the cells or membranes in the eyes of person....). The thing is, this photo or picture actually exist!

Well here are two videos on the 17 Gigapixel Photo and the 26 Gigapixel photo:-

Well, my first words after seeing these photos:- Oh MY God! Amazing!
Now I wonder where I'd put my camera? I've got a 100 Gigapixel photo to make.
