Check out this new digital camera by Seitz: The Seitz 6×17 D3 digital scan back.

Here’s what you could do with this camera:
You could easily make a 12′ by 4′ print. That’s 12 FEET by 4 FEET.

If your car battery dies you could use your digital camera to give yourself a jump.

You’d have a really good excuse to get that terabit flash card.

If you wanted to take a group portrait of EVERYONE - 6,649,000,000 people - and each person got just one pixel then you would only need to take 42 photos to get everyone in the photo.

If you could take photos continually, 1/sec, for just 2 hours and 42 minutes you would have a digital collection roughly the size of the Library of Congress - 10 terabytes.

You would need 8 Apple Cinema Displays ( 2560×1600 px ) walled together to see every pixel.

It is estimated that if you had a Dell XPS 700, with a dual core 3.73 Intel chip, 4Gig DDR2 RAM, and a 1TB RAID 0 it would take 2.58 times the current age of the universe to stitch together the aforementioned group photo. (or you could wait a couple of years and get a top of the line desktop running Ubuntu and get the job done in an afternoon.)

If you’re a designer or coder or both you have to ask the question, “how many monitors are enough?”

Two? Ha, two is suffecent but come on, not enough, not nearly enough.

Three? Now we’re talking. I can have code, outputs, panels/pallettes, open and have room for some DVD/TV output. I could multi-task and multi-slack at the same time.

Four? Yum.

Five? I like it.

Six? Pixel-gasm!

If you need to see that many pixels, and you have a spare wall in your house. Then check this place out. Besides the bridge of the Enterprise this might be best wall of monitors I’ve seen.

And if I ever win the lottery I’m putting in an order for the Stratosphere Elite system with the Zenview Arena Ultra HD.
