This picture was taken with a 70,000 x 30,000 pixel camera (2100 Mega Pixels.) These cameras are not sold to the public and are being installed in strategic locations. The camera can identify a face among a multitude of people. Place your computer’s cursor in the mass of people and double-click a couple times (or 'finger-spread' on a device.) Scary sharp!! George Orwell must be smiling somewhere out there.

These cameras are not seeing any sort of wide-spread deployment. Frame rates are too low, storage costs are too high. They make a nice demo though.
