For the past few years the highest sensor resolution available was 39 Megapixels, and for many this was regarded as more than enough (your camera phones have usually a 5 megapixel resolution, at most, and anyway an 8 megapixel digicams is far enough to take great pics)

But Phase One has just announced the 60.5-megapixel P 65+ digital back and camera system. That means images with 8,984 x 6,732 pixels resolution which equals 180MB!

Using Sensor+ CCD technology, the cam can give professional photographers higher sensitivity and expanded dynamic range (12.5 f-stops when most cameras go up to 8) as well as 20 percent more live capture area (as compared with 39 megapixel or 50 megapixel 48mm-by-36mm chips currently available or announced) available with coverage of 53.9mm by 40.4mm, enabling full viewfinder coverage and no need for lens magnification.

It will cost a lot : the P 65+ digital back will start at $39,900 and the P 65+ camera system will start at $41,990 – they both will be available by the end of the year
