Canon unveils 250-megapixel prototype DSLR camera sensor | Ars Technica

Canon has created a 250-megapixel CMOS camera sensor. The sensor, which is APS-H size (29×20mm), packs a resolution of 19580×12600. By comparison, the highest-resolution commercial DSLR camera—the Canon 5DS and 5DS R—has an image sensor with "just" 50.6 megapixels, on a much larger full-frame (36×24mm) sensor.

For whoever said digital would never be as good as film.
