    World largest digital picture?

    Have a look at this one:

    While you can see some ghost tracks at the highway on the right, the detail of this panorama is amazing. You can read the road signs on that highway!

    Good Lord!

    Nevermind the signs, you can read a few car licence plates in there!

    And some of the cranes have air-conditioning...
    Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.

    That is awesome. I am sure Canon has something to do with it.

    I was told along time ago that this could be done.

    My dad worked on and with the SR-71 (Blackbird) group back in the 60-70's and before he passed away in the early 90's told me some stories about the capabilities of the Blackbird and why it was really no longer needed as a picture taking platform, since many of the things that it did over a 30-40 year lifespan had been replaced by better technologies. He told me once that technicians studing pictures taken over the USSR which had pictures of trucks in a compound with license plates and that the numbers were readable. Also that one time a technician had determined that a bolt on a critical piece of equipment had been determined to have left-hand threads and that that information had been instrumental in solving some math/sceince questions concerning the equipment. He was vague about the wheres and why-fors but he was very adamant about how good the pictures were. After seeing this panorama and how detailed the pictures are, I feel guilty that I had some doubts about how much credibility I gave my dad for the stories. I often wonder what replaced the SR-71 and just how much the new "SPY" platforms are able to do, not being paranoid, just would like to know.
