Project Gigapixel

Basics

• A Project Making an Open Source Medium Format Digital Camera using the CCD from an Off The Shelf Paper Scanner
• The main limitations of this is that since the Linear CCD has to be mechanically swept, non-still subjects will be blurred
• For the cost though High Detail Large Stills can be taken (may be of use for Product Photos etc
