Just when you thought the mega pixel wars have come to an end, another company comes with a camera that beats its predecessors to the ground. When people though it is the quality of the camera which makes one better from the other, the resolution of the camera makes them think otherwise. Camera manufacturers have been beating one another at pixels and coming up with one innovation after other.
Fermilab has produced a camera that has a mind boggling resolution of 500 megapixels. More than enough pixels to make 50 high definition photos of you and your partner on your honeymoon. A single picture takes about 12GB of space to fit completely on a flash disk. But wait before you take your check book out or wait for that horse to win, on which you have bet money on sports betting sites. This camera is not for sale, it is only for research purposes, but you can look forward for something with a little less resolution. Seitz recently unveiled a camera with a resolution of 160 mega pixels. This has the best ISO that ranges from 500 to 10,000. It also has a shutter speed of nearly 1/20000 th of a second, that is on par with most of the digital cameras found in the market today. To save the images that are about 1GB in size, this thing needs an attached computer. This baby will cost you upwards of $40,000. If this is too much for you, you can go for the smaller brother which is just 64 MB and also Swiss made. It’s not just camera manufacturers who are fighting over megapixels. Even mobile manufacturers are going for the title of the highest megapixel camera. The average mega pixels of latest mobiles have gone up to 5 mega pixels. Currently Sony leads the pack with its 16 Megapixel phone.
