>The Alamay.com web page says it's a 53 MB photo but the .jpg is only about 2.3 MB

That sounds about right if the 53MB file was converted to a TIF. Not sure what the new DSLRs Large JPG file size is, thinking between 25-30 mb?

The 2.3mb jpg is useless. That's the edited file that's converted to SRGB for web use.

A Getty guy said photog shot original in large JPG, not RAW (.cr2). I think that original large JPG would be uploaded to a cloud server any any editors would download a copy of the large JPG to work on. I don't think that they would alter the original JPG.

>if only there was a gigapixel camera taking a pic of that

That was my thought from the get go.

A zoom that big inside would only make sense if it was a sequence in a gigapixel panorama.

Shit, though, maybe they're using zooms like that to catch people doing shit, who knows nowadays. Can't rule out anything anymore.

Would a gigapixel pro setup use an automated panorama head, IOW, would it be recognizable from a photo taken from another camera in a different spot in the hall?
