There was a retired physicist that refurbished an old aerial reconnaissance camera and painstakingly built a hybird film/digital workflow that resulted in claimed resolution equivalent to several gigapixels. I can't find his original site anywhere, but here's a Popular Mechanics write up of it: http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2005-10/sharpest-image http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2005-10/sharpest-image It's too bad because the original site had lots of technical detail and was a good lesson in understanding resolution limiting factors at each step of the image chain (e.g. effect of air density changes on sharpness of distant objects when shooting landscapes).
