The photographic capacity shown by smartphones when capturing images with the camera is increasingly surprising, obtaining remarkable results in terms of resolution and color.
However, none of these phones have reached the photographic level shown by the GigapixelCam X80, a surveillance camera developed by EarthCam, a company specializing in industrial and surveillance cameras.
It is a camera with the capacity to take 80 gigapixel photographs and that was tested in New York City to obtain a panoramic snapshot of the city. In the end, the graphical result obtained was a New York City photo with a resolution of 120 thousand megapixels, the highest ever captured.
In this sense, the image obtained was taken from the Empire State Building on a mounting position. In this way it was possible to achieve the spectacular capture in which a good part of the island of Manhattan can be appreciated. When zooming in any area you will notice that the image does not lose sharpness.
When you enter the website where the image is displayed, you will have navigation tools available that will allow you to move freely over it, being able to obtain a close-up of the most emblematic points of New York City, such as the World Trade Center, the Flatiron Building or the Statue of Liberty.
In addition to the emblematic sites, you can have the possibility of appreciating the roofs of the buildings or zooming in on the windows of some houses that were captured in the image.
With regard to EarthCam, this company has the capacity to install its devices anywhere, being hired mainly by construction companies to record the progress of their works in the long term, as well as to do live streams.
In the case of the GigapixelCam X80, people interested in purchasing it can do so for a value of $ 24,995, including installation.
