If we have to own the best glass for 36mp what do we have to have for 50,000mp?

Big budget. Can be used for stills or video. Just image the hard disk required to save 30 mins of video!!!!

With my GigaPan computerized tripod head I have shot pictures of over a gigapixel in size. Using it is rather like setting up a shot with a plate camera. It takes time and planning, and of course the computer processing time is slow. Many shots only call for a few hundred megapixles and process much faster. See http://www.gigapan.com/cms/shop/store#gigapanstitcher for more info.
In my opinion GigaPans' hardware is good but their customer service leaves much to be desired

Interesting link. I did quite a bit of panoramic stitching a few years ago, mainly using PT Gui, but this site would have interested me then.

Photoshop is much better at stitching than it used to be, but I have been a little disappointed with the couple of attempts I have made recently with the Fuji and was thinking about getting PT GUi for the Mac. I might have a look at this software but the head is going a bit far!

I find the Fuji X100 gives me grat panoramas but if I wan controlled stuff I use my Manfrotto panorama head on my tripod. This unit is expensive but makes pano shots really easy and accurate.
