Okay, so the title is pretty obvious. If you haven't heard or read yet, the new world record holder for the world's largest photograph, came in at 70 Gigapixels! In case you're trying to work how much bigger that is to whatever teeny-weeny megapixels your camera currently has, it is MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger. A mega pixel is 1 million pixels. A Gigapixel is 1 billion pixels. I'm not a calculus wiz, nor am I super duper at solving mathematical sums but, folks, it doesn't get any more obvious than that really.
In fact, Petapixel said that if that picture were to be printed, it would be as large as "2 apartment blocks wide and 10 stories high". Someone say massive?
The details and sharpness of this image is very impressive. More-so, the extent to which you can zoom still maintaining high resolution is actually mind-blowing!!
