Obviously it's too much to ask for to see pictures of it. The whole point is that it takes better pictures than anything else.

But of course that's the first thing I went looking for...

Better is relative to intended usage. I suspect that Swift's camera is not handholdable and that it is only useful for stationary images. I'll stick with my "low-res" 1Ds MKII. 16.6 megapixels and 30 FPM is sufficient for general use and the occasional big enlargement. :)

"The process is so lengthy that the one-time painter can produce only five to eight images a year."

Yeah 30 fpm is looking good :)

The main implication of this is that Big Brother has another way to spy on us. In terms of what it can do for you and me, the other thread (too lazy to search) that Buck (?) started, with the photographer taking gigapixel pics was more interesting (am not talking about the guys in Denmark).
