    I wonder if it has a novelty-sized viewfinder on it.

    I was more appalled at the pictures beside it of the new Polaroid cameras that the new owners of the Polaroid brand are whoring out. It's covered in fake woodgrain :confused::confused::confused:

    or you could use a flatbed scanner and make a DIY mega mega pixel camera,
    depending on scan speed you will prob be limited to (very)still life

    I was just thinking, wouldnt it be cheaper for them to use (multiple/customised)large format film and a really great lens and scanner?

    Depends on the optics of the telescope, but at best I think it is a couple of kilometres.

    That price is a total rip off, I know a guy selling it for just under 34 million in my local..

    You can get one on eBay for under $30 Million, but they are probably fakes & there is a good chance you will get caught for Import Duty & VAT. Postage would be quite expensive too I would imagine.
