I saw this:
US semiconductor manufacturer Atmel has announced a 35 mm eight
megapixel CCD sensor, although not specifically targeted at the
digital camera market it's clearly an indication that the development
of large high pixel count sensors is no longer the preserve
of a select few manufacturers. "The large format (35mm film compatible
image format), high definition and high dynamic range make the device
suitable for any application requiring high image accuracy. This full
frame imager is designed for the Graphic Arts marketplace such as
digital minilabs, retouch/enhancement stations, high resolution
reprography, large format X-ray film scanning and high resolution
microscopy applications."
Now if someone would just pop one of these into a back/bottom for the
OMs. Well, I can dream.
