I've seen 10 megapixel cameras but I'm sure there are ones higher than that. Please tell me what is the highest amount that technology has enabled us to create.

In a regular camera format, the Canon 1Ds Mark ll has 16.7 megapixels. It costs $7.000 without lenses.
For studio work, the Hasselblad mentioned above has 39 megapixels on a single sensor. It costs $30.000.
They could go larger... it's really just a matter of time, but for now it's cost prohibitive.
Some people have made 1 GIGApixels images (also mentioned above) but this is accomplished by stitching hundreds of smaller pictures together.

The camera you seek is a hasselblad H2D-39.
You can find it on www.bhphotovideo.com. It's 39 megapixels and costs only $30,000.
Other people have said they have seen 45 megapixel cameras, but I have yet to see them.

Basically I read that we can go as high as 200 right now, and that is possible because they are using lenses and tachnology that act like a bug's eye. The problem is that it is just not practical, because there is so many problems with it.
