Actually it is the panoramic device...

A billion pixels? Bert, how long does it currently take to do a panoramic picture?
It would require a massive memory card.

No not really....

Although lots of memory and processing power helps to reduce the time needed to stitch the picture....

Also software gets smarter and smarter...

Example:

To assemble 337 x 6 MPixel pictures into a 1433 MPixel picture takes 8min 50sec on a simple computer nowadays....
That's It !!
