Anyone want a 111 megapixel camera
a company has come up with a 111 megapixel CCD.
How soon before it starts showing up in professional cameras.

How soon before it starts showing up in professional cameras.
EETimes is reporting that Dalsa has shipped a record-breaking 111-megapixel CCD image sensor to customer Semiconductor Technology Associates. The chip was paid for by a U.S. Navy SBIR project. At four inches across, a bit big for camera phones, but the 10560x10560 format will probably get professional digital camera users drooling."

Well, I look forward to seeing what this sensor records as it's scanning the skys.

Big Block go VROOOM!
One thing to keep in mind, since this beast is for astronomical imaging, it's almost certainly a B&W sensor and not a one-shot color chip with a Beyer grid.
The thing that I find interesting is that this is for the Astrometry department of the USNO. Astrometry deals with making precise measurements of star parallaxes and the angular distance between stars. Sensors or sensor arrays with huge resolutions like this are more commonly used in sky survey projects where the overriding priority is to capture as big a chunk of the sky as possible with every exposure.
