It's not a digital camera. He exposes 9" by 18" film plates and
scans them. Then he or his wife works with the digital images.

This is a story about a retired physicist who has been traveling
around America for several years taking huge pictures of various
locations with converted obsolete satellite imaging equipment. I
have read several articles over the years and no claims have been
made for the newest or best anything, particularly not digital image
superiority, because the images are captured on film. The camera is
not for sale but the designer has stated he will help others
construct similar cameras in order to carry-on with his project on a
worldwide scale. His endeavor is a rich man's hobby and I wish him
well.
As usual, the mere mention of gigabyte and camera in the same
paragraph elicits the usual negative reaction from those who can't
or won't deal with the concept of digital photography.
Sheeesh!
