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.

Sick! Reminds me of the sharpest ever view of the Andromeda galaxy. That image really shows the insane amount of stars just one galaxy contains.

Not entirely sure what going on here,but imagine you think you're safe from pictures because you're 30 stories up, then someone takes a 20 gigapixel image.

I’m not seeing anything remarkable in that image.

The middle window, it almost looks like a woman on top of a man.

But maybe it's a couch
