Can not wait to start GigaPanning with this thing! Wait, isn't that exactly what this is? In truth, M$ is quietly making major advances in gigapixel photography already with their Photosynth team (a part of Bing Maps). Their Photosynth panorama app (for the iPhone, interestingly enough) has earned almost 5 million users in a matter months since it's launch. On it, I can also explore all of my multi-gigapixel panoramic photos (300+ on Photosynth.net, search for "GigaView") that I've shot with a crappy, consumer-grade, 8 Megapixel camera and stiched together with MS ICE (a free software from MS Research). I love the idea that they will put a bunch of CCD's together to sense one lens and, likely, use ICE to stitch. And, yes, I'm a fanboy who loves what the Photosynth team is doing and has done. Go, Go, GigaPixel!
