So the next question is, how are you going to store such huge image files...nearly 1 GB per uncompressed full panorama! Certainly not on your 16GB SDHC card, nor the upcoming 64GB CompactFlash cards - but rather via gigabit Ethernet to Seitz's "state-of-the-art computer system", which translates to a decked out Mac mini.
So what will this much imaging power cost you? 45,500 Swiss francs ($36,266) for the "mobile version" and 42,300 Swiss francs ($33,715) for the "studio version", and we're assuming that the Mac mini is included for that price.
However, given that this camera isn't quite what you'd front for a down payment on a Swiss châlet, the 6x17 Digital surely must be affordable to average working-class Zürich banker set, no? You can catch a glimpse of this bad boy at the upcoming Photokina expo in Germany, or can throw down some serious Swiss coinage now to pre-order this gargantuan cam, which won't become available until early 2007.

Wait five years and you'll laugh at the memory of this while you pick up your 160 mega pixel palm of your hand compact for as many Euro.
(The dollar will be dead by then.)
Wait five years and you'll laugh at the memory of that comment because people have been saying "the dollar will be dead" for ages.
How about we skip the five year waiting period and just start laughing now . Greece in flames ... Germans hacked off because they have to bail em out and a parade of socialist deadbeat countries behind them waiting for their turn to go bust .
Mere months after the silly comment of ONeill many savvy economic and political observers wonder if either the EU OR the Euro will make it out alive LOL
Last comment, well said, haha.
Believe me the dollar will be dead by then if the rumours going around are true, I wasn't being cynical, though I've obviously ruffled a few feathers with my benign footnote.
Just Google the 'Amero', the new currency being planned for Mexico, the USA and Canada to replace the dollar that the political elite want to impose on Americans without their consent.
Could be bullshit I know, or it could be true, only time will tell.
