High-end Swiss imaging specialist Seitz has released its latest eye-popper, 6-by-17-format camera that captures images at a whopping 160 megapixels, That means a single full-res image takes up nearly a gigabyte of space, so besides the challenge of schlepping the camera around, you’ll probably need a sherpa with a RAID cluster for storage.

But, aah, the images — were talking panoramas to make armchair tourists drool. And think of the shutterbug envy you’ll generate from toting one of these babies. Suddenly, that SLR with 500mm lens seems absolutely amateur. Prices start at around $43,000 for the “compact” version.
