Posted By: Bharat BhushanSharma | Jun 5 2009

For all pixel frenzy there isn’t much beyond this, but for the wise that also look for functionality, this is close to dead bit. Churned by Spyuge, an amateur photographer from Japan the 130-megapixel camera is made from an old 1200-dpi Epson flatbed scanner and a vintage manual-focus Canon lens coupled in a blend of ingenuity. Definitely, the photo capturing speed of the scanner camera is comparatively slow, but the images captured aren’t bad at all, you can guess that from about 13,068 x 10,173 pixel images that the mesmerizing piece of human diligence can deliver. Do check the image shot by the scanner camera.
