Following on from the announcement of the 120 megapixel sensor, it's great to read this.

However, I suspect this was commissioned by government for special purposes, such as spy satellites or spectral satellite imaging.

The sensor and glass required to resolve detail would likely end up in the 8-figure range.

Having said that, it goes to show why Canon is so good at this stuff. Go, team!
