Have you heard about the new Phase One camera with 151 megapixels and super high quality performance yet? The Phase One XF IQ4.

Wasn't paying attention. Too busy with
the set up of a zillion menus in my new
top of the line 20MP body [not joking].

There have been cameras out for very long time with higher counts than that, 200MP, 420MP!

Honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with all those megapixels! Although digital medium format camera would be nice to have. But for now, I will continue using my medium format film camera - at least until digital medium format equipment becomes more affordable.

I'm very happy with my 50 megapixel Canon. Quite frankly, or robinly, as far as I'm concerned my 30 megapixel Canon is more than adequate. I actually use the 30 megapixel camera far more often than the 50 megapixel camera. For one, the 30 megapixel files consume considerably less space and are easier to edit. Drop down from 30 to 24 megapixels and you save even more space and time in post. As far as I'm concerned, packing more than 50 megapixels onto a 35mm full frame sensor is pushing the bleeding edge of what current technology can effectively cope with and doing it on a crop frame sensor is worse. Anyone who knows the mechanics of how these sensors actually work knows what I'm babbling on about.

I would expect a 50 megapixel image to not need any editing!!

I can't see how the size of an image would determine whether it needs editing.

Unless you want to change: brightness, contrast, color saturation, cropping/composition, noise reduction, red eyes, etc....nothing to do with MP except perhaps processing time which is minimal on a fast PC/Mac. High MP provide much cropping ability.

Should change your screen to 8MP or even 32MP as they are available now.

Just trying to keep the 'Bragging-Rites' of the High MP brigade under control.

I’m sure someone will buy it, just like the guy stuck in a Ferrari on the freeway in rush hour “parking lot” traffic.
People have used cellphones to make magazines and billboards. Over 90% of imaging is for online use.
Maybe the Phase One will let a few photographers make wall-size prints we can pixel peep with an 8X loupe.
