From: Alfred Molon on 13 Mar 2010 13:21 http://www.paris-26-gigapixels.com/index-en.html I just wonder why they didn't use one of those 60MP Hasselblads - would have reduced shooting time to 1/3. Perhaps lack of a 600mm lens? By the way, the AF of one of the Canon DSLRs failed, forcing the photographer to continue with just one camera. Are Canon DSLRs so unreliable? -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site

Perhaps lack of a 600mm lens? Why? It looks as though this is another Gigapan; http://www.gigapan.org/ All that takes is $449 and the camera - lens - tripod combination of your choice. http://www.gigapansystems.com/ > > By the way, the AF of one of the Canon DSLRs failed, forcing the > photographer to continue with just one camera.

All DSLRs are so unreliable. Depending on antiquated mechanical mirror flapping and focal-plane shutter contraptions will do that.
