If 5 million pixels is 5 mega pixels, then what it 1 billion pixels? (don't say 1,000 mega pixels!) - is there a word for a billion?

well a us billion is 1000 million and a uk billion is a million million.
So given that top cameras have about 12 million pixels theres a long way to go baby even based on the us definition.
But it if/when it happens it will be a giga pixel camera, you will be 80 years old and mad as a hatter when this technology becomes available!!

A thousand million is a tera - as in terabyte for computers. No camera comes even close as the highest is around 35 megapixels for a 2 1/4 reflex digital back. The best Canon camera is only 14 megapixel.

1 gigapixel.
You can even find examples on the web of the Grand Canyon and so (made by stitching together 1000s of 'regular' digital images). And then there's Google Earth, where you can zoom in on pretty much any point on earth with enough detail to count individual cars.
After a gigapixel, you get a terapixel.
