You want MAJOR megapixels? How about say.. FIFTY MEGAPIXELS!! Yes.. that’s right. You heard me.. 50.. that’s 5 0 megapixels! That’s what you get if you shell out god knows how much for the new Hasselblad H3DII-50. This digital camera features Kodak’s 50 megapixel 36 x 48mm sensor and is ideal for those of you out there who need the ultimate in image resolutions. Just how crazy is that 50 megapixel image sensor? Well Kodak states the following:

At 50 {megapixels] the sensor captures digital images with unprecedented resolution and detail. For instance, with a 50 megapixel camera, in an aerial photo of a field 1-½ miles across, you could detect an object about the size of a small notebook computer (1 foot by 1 foot)

Well alrighty then…
