Submission + - One-billion-pixel camera catches the smallest details (nature.com) 1
An anonymous reader writes: A camera made from off-the-shelf electronics can take snapshots of one billion pixels each — about one thousand times larger than images taken by conventional cameras.
David Brady, an engineer at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and his colleagues are developing the AWARE-2 camera with funding from the United States Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency. The camera’s earliest use will probably be in automated military surveillance systems, but its creators hope eventually to make the technology available to researchers, media companies and consumers.

about one thousand times larger than images taken by conventional cameras
Maybe that should read a thousand times larger than an 1MP camera? Which conventional camera these days is 1MP?
