 The last year has brought us countless contenders for the title of “world’s largest photo,” but the latest shot from Jeffrey Martin earns the accolades for taking a bit of a different approach. Instead of capturing a massive cityscape, Martin went inside. Martin used a Canon 550D with a 200mm lens to capture nearly 3,000 photos of the Strahov Monastery library in Prague. The result is a 40 gigapixel photograph that’s absolutely stunning. When fully zoomed in, you can read the titles of books that can barely be seen when zoomed all the way out. If the photo were printed it would measure a massive 78 feet in length. Putting it all together took 111 hours of stitching and 20 hours of work in Photoshop.

The model, whose development was originally announced in November last year, is the latest addition to the company’s NXCAM line-up of broadcast-standard camcorders. It features an Exmor CMOS sensor in what the company describes as Super35 format (essentially the same size as the APS-C sensors seen in existing E-mount cameras). It records 1080p Full HD videos at 60, 50, 30 and 24fps (60 and 50 are recorded at 28Mbps). Other features include a 3.5″ LCD, built-in GPS, SDXC compatibility and Slow-motion video recording. The camcorder also features industry-standard HD SDI and XLR connectors. It will be offered as a kit with the Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS lens at a suggested retail price of $5850. The company has also launched the world’s first dust- and rain-proof professional HD camcorder in the shape of HXR-NX70. . . . → Read More: Sony unveils NEX-FS100 E-mount professional camcorder The latest memory cards to come out of Kingston aren’t aimed at photographers that use traditional cameras, but those with a penchant for cell phone photography. Considering the use to which they’ll be put, these are pretty impressive cards. These Class 10 speed microSD cards boast a minimum sustained write speed of 10MB/s, which is more than enough for the uses they’ll be put to. “Kingston’s Class 10 microSDHC cards are compatible with many of the latest mobile phones, including Android smartphones and BlackBerry devices, hi-def cameras and the increasingly popular tablet PCs,” says Marketing Manager Krystian Jaroszynski. The card is currently available in a 4GB size, but both 8GB and 16GB versions will be joining the fray later this month. . . . → Read More: Kingston Launches New Class 10 microSD/SDHC Memory Cards A pair of updates came out of Nikon today – one for the Coolpix P100 superzoom camera and the other for the company’s ViewNX software.
