56 megapixel camera launched

Leaf has launched a new digital camera packing a staggering 56 megapixel lens.

The Leaf AFi 10 comes loaded with internal sensor rotation for portrait and landscape shots, 9288 x 6000 resolution, 56 x 36mm CCD, and a capture rate of 1fps – all of which combines to provide, you’d hope, a pretty clear image.

With an average photo size of 114MB, it has the potential to clog up hard drives pretty quick – but since it carries a price tag of £22,000, those buying will presumably have the cash to stretch to an external hard drive.
