Top 10 highest giga pixel Images

We all wonder at the resolution of visually wonderful images or videos that we see in the movies today. Really they will be of high clarity. Do you know how much their resolution could be? You may really wonder if you look at their actual resolution . Its less than 32 mega pixels. And that resolution cameras are already available for us integrated in our smartphones. Do you know how much the resolution of a human eye could be if it is a digital camera? Human eye resolution is around 576 mega pixels (for a normal human being), which is very far when compared with the resolutions of the digital images we are dealing today.

Can you guess how much resolution a man has achieved till now ? The figures will really amaze you. At present the highest resolution image available is 365 giga pixels ( 365 billion pixels = 365000 mega pixels) followed by 320Gp , 272Gp, 150Gp..etc.

Lets see here the top 10 highest Pixel images of the world.
