Instead of the common digital camera sensor which records the entire scene at once, the Seitz 6×17'' uses a scanner to literally scan the view through the lens. The end result is 160 megapixel images in a panoramic format. It does the job a bit faster than your average flatbed scanner though, recording a full-sized frame (21 250 x 7500 pixels) in two seconds. It's big, it's heavy (5 kilos if you wish to use it outside a studio) and quite silly, but it turns out huge, amazing photos – and it should, costing as it does $42 000.

amazing. Think the film guys had to do this at one point!
I remember when that thing came out. it is effectively a scanner..
Hmm. Doesn't have a vertical grip with shutter release. What The….
🙂
It sure is a cool aspect ratio….
You saw you can Rent one for a Day for about EUR 750…
BUT "Pick-up at our factory in Switzerland"
Still cool!
Ah, last just the right aspect ratio to fit IPhone 6
Woo hoo trip to Switzerland
It is awesome …resolution, that is 🙂
As with anything else on the market, thats new or above the rest, it's like working for a black budget program in the middle of nowhere.
If something goes wrong, you're stuck, and no one can "literally" help you LOL!
Still, the resolution from this is AWESOME.
