Hold on to your horses, we now have a 416 megapixel scanning back that produces 794 MB 48-bit RGB files at a 3x10,200x13,600 pixel resolution. The capture area is 72mm x 96mm (120mm diagonal) and fits into 4x5 format cameras. The amazing thing about the unit is that it can store more data that the lens can physically resolve:-

“A unique aspect of the increased resolution possible with the new Super10K-HS back is that its resolving power can exceed that of the camera lens. At its 100% resolution setting, the Super10K-HS captures 70 line pairs per millimeter with 60% contrast, which is higher than most lenses can deliver.”

Don't bother with memory cards too -

The new Super10K-HS offers an ISO range from 64 to 1000, line times from 1/8th to 1/120th of a second, and a 40 GB (or optional 80 GB) internal hard drive for image storage. The unit provides 11 resolution settings that can be used to capture the perfect file size for each imaging project, independent of the selected ISO sensitivity. The camera is also ICC profile-compatible. The Super10K-HS is priced at $22,995 and will ship at the end of March.
