High end Swiss 6×17 panoramic camera with a special 160Mpx! sensor [21’250×7’500px, ISO 500-10’000!, 48-bit depth, high dynamic range] developed by DALSA Corporation.
OK, it’s not a normal (area-array) sensor, but a linear/scan sensor; it doesn’t cover the entire image area, the image must be scanned across the sensor as it builds up the image from the captured rows of pixels (not great for action photography)! A 160 million pixel 6×17 panorama takes one second.

45’500 CHF (28’900 Euro) [Mobile version]
Too expensive for a non professional! ...
A 6×17 digital panorama (uncompressed) has about 950 MB! Data is transferred by gigabit ethernet from the sensor to a storage device or computer.
For those who might think – do we need such high resolution: I’ll just say 2 words: “giant prints!”... (obviously it’s not meant for vacation pictures that you watch on a computer screen!)
