The ExpoDisc has been around for a while, so this is not necessarily a news-breaking post or anything of the sort. I probably wouldn’t have even mentioned it but I saw this story over on O’Reilly Digital Media and thought I’d mention it as well.
I have one of these for my Canon 20D and love it. I carry it along with my Moose Peterson Polarizing filter with me everywhere I go.
My mom sends me stuff like this all the time. I have no idea where she finds it or who sends it to her, but I thought I’d share this one. So from my mom to you, here goes nothing.

Seitz Phototechnik AG has an insane 160 megapixel camera that they are now taking reservations for. Worried about not having enough space on your CF or SD cards (or needing 100 more!)? Don’t worry, they’ve set it up so you can transfer directly to a computer (like a Mac Mini) via gigabit ethernet like so:
And in case you’re wondering what a 160 MP camera looks like, here’s a picture from their site.
I read this over on John Nack’s blog and had to repost. Of course, this begs the question, spend $36,653 on this camera or $159.95 on Genuine Fractals?
