The camera captures so much data, that you can read street signs from the top of the building just by digitally zooming!

This doesn't require a special camera. You use a normal or telephoto lens and take hundreds of photos then stitch them together with software.

Yes, that is a more accurate explanation of how they get such a large image.

Any software you recommend? Did this a while back off some great views, but the software side didn’t seem to work well. Microsoft had one, but if k recall, it relied on some technology that wasn’t updated.

I just couldn’t get it to work right.
