Aww, I want a sixty-thousand megapixel camera!!!
Funny how they always tone down the definition on these things. I remember seeing pictures from 20+ years ago taken from a spy satalite I think it was Pop Sci that ran the article... starts out a veiw from space> N & S America> N America> W USA> W Coast> California> California Coast> Popular beach (seeing lots of people now> Closer in clearly seeing 50+ poeple (very busy day at the beach> zoom in to 50ft area seeing just a few people> Zoom to 1 man lying on a lawnchair> zooms to his right arm> Final zoom to his digital wrist watch and reads the time!
Whole thing was 15-20 pics on 2-3 pages... Interesting all of the photo's from todays satalites get blurry at about 1,000 feet
from houston, texas
Shome they just dont want you to know what their cameras can really do..or you'd be delighted and scared all at the same time haha
