Make Enormous Panoramas

Sometimes stitching together a few images to make an 11-inch-wide panoramic photo just isn't enough. Time to bring out the big guns: Seitz's 6x17 Digital panoramic camera can shoot a 160MP image in a single second. Sure, at about $36,000 it's a bit steep, but that's a small price to pay for a picture you could print almost 6 feet wide at 300 dpi with no upsizing whatsoever. If you still need to go bigger and don't mind spending an extra $1,000, consider the Seitz Roundshot D3, which will shoot a 470MP, 360-degree panorama in two seconds. Now that's a big picture.
