Also instead of showing 30 seconds of the gigapan working at tortoise rate, put the camera on a tripod and record it over an hour or so and play it back at 16x speed so we can easily visualize the progression, that would have been awesome

And maybe they should have grabbed a different camera instead of using a flip video]]>May 10th 2010 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/May 10th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/

You guys aren't getting the amazing thing about this...

I'm a graphic designer, opening and editing an image of that size would take some kind of super-computer...


I've got a beast of a system, and it struggles editing 4gig photos/files in photoshop. 25 gigs is insane.


That's awesome.

btw , i have heard that dubai construction gave jobs to millions of people from subcontinent who were not given good livelihood by there own countries and never allowed entry into western europe or America.

Try zooming in! It has amazing details even at a very very long distance... you can see the windows of the houses behind the towers and all!

What a monstrous sensor/lens combination!]]>May 10th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/
I do like how when you zoom in on a person, you see them like 5 times because they were moving. And wtf happened to make the buildings curve? Either they f-ed up stitching it together or the wind was blowing the building pretty far. ]]>May 10th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/May 10th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/gigapan-epic-pro-helps-create-44-880-megapixel-panorama-of-dubai/It has to do with the stitching they used, but here's a ghost van, just so you can have something.
