70-GigaPixel Image?!

It looks like someone's got way too much time on their hands then, as the record for the world's biggest digital based image has been broken, literally. We all know some time ago a 45-GigaPixel image of Dubai claimed the title as the world's biggest image, and now we've seen the amazing feat of a 70 Gigapixel, 200GB image of Budapest take the crown of the world's biggest digital based image.

The image is quite astonishing to look at, as reported on Engadget.

It's just been a few months since a 45-gigapixel panorama of Dubai claimed the title of world's largest digital photograph, but it's now already been well and truly ousted -- the new king in town is this 70-gigapixel, 360-degree panorama of Budapest. As with other multi-gigapixel images, this one was no easy feat, and involved two 25-megapixel Sony A900 cameras fitted with 400mm Minolta lenses and 1.4X teleconverters, a robotic camera mount from 360world that got the shooting done over the course of two days, and two solid days of post-processing that resulted in a single 200GB file -- not to mention a 15-meter-long printed copy of the photograph for good measure. Of course, what's most impressive is the photo itself. Hit up the source link below and start zooming in.
