Seitz 6×17 digital panorama camera

Has radiation at the Seitz warehouse turned the Seitz 6×17 digital camera into some warped behemoth? The size is for real, and this monster of a digital camera is capable of caputring a 160 million pixel image – to save your brain some work, that translates to 160 megapixels under the metric system. The Seitz 6×17 has an extremely broad ISO range of 500 to 10,000, while its high read-out speed of 300MB/s makes it 100 times faster than any existing scan back. You can pick up the Seitz 6×17 when it is released next year after selling off your car, the dog, and mortgage your house. Just make sure you have at least $33,000 sitting in the bank before making a purchase. More specs are available after the jump.
