Yes, I said gigapixel, not megapixel. From the story:
"Weighing more than 100 pounds, Flint's camera captures images at 4 gigapixels -- a resolution high enough to photograph four football fields and capture every single blade of grass. When printed at maximum resolution, the images are as big as billboards, but render the finest detail."
"A photograph of a San Diego beach shows a paraglider swooping over bluffs. Zoom in on some tiny dots on the cliff, and a group of people with binoculars and telephoto lenses can be seen. Follow their gaze, and you'll see naked sunbathers on the beach."
Here's a link to the paraglider pic. This is damn funny. Even better -- it's not too far from where I live. Fantastic.
(Slightly OT, I know, but these gigapixel photos are simply amazing.)

A few minutes on the freeway. We're inland, not coastside.
