The only reason for large storage is to take large pictures with high
quality detail so one can make a fantastic print. There is no other reason for
large capture. If you are projecting your file on a digital projector
all one needs is a 1050 x 1400 pixel file at 1 ppi (that is the
resolution of the Canon Realis SX80 projector) because digital projection is
independent of ppi

i have a usb flash drive the size of my thumbnail that's 16gb...ten years ago, 3.5 floppies at 1.14 mb were being replaced with zips...it won't be long and that thumb drive will be 1 tb...my only question is this: what level of media will require that much storage with such portability? at what point will a 4x5 back be in the prosumer price range? 8x10? what are we going to be doing with these images? i think the gigapixel project is something that might be an evolutionary market step, even in a telephone...but why? |
