Via PhotographyBlog:

The R-1 film camera from inventor Clifford Ross is capable of taking photos that have "100 times as much data as the average professional digital camera" using film negatives. Ross's camera is capable of resolving amazing levels of detail - apparently a tree on a ridge four miles away is sharply focused.

More info available at CNET News.

Reminds me of some of the gigapixel digital photostitching efforts.

Comments:

I wonder where he gets the 9-by-18-inch film for negatives. I know x-ray film comes in sizes bigger than that.

Very cool, but you can't exactly put that in your pocket, or sling it over your shoulder for a day out with the family now, can you ?

There'll always be a place for film, like there is vinyl in the music industry.
