here's the camera brochure:

spot the Zaurus!

[nilch]

Is that a Zaurus attached to the camera ?

I heard about that ridiculous 160 Megapixed digital camera
http://slashdot.org/articles/06/09/25/1346231.shtml

and never bothered to look it up - just another of those just-because-we-can-do-it department products with no real common-user(read "me")  advantage to it.

But what's a Zaurus doing out there with that ridiculous camera ?

Note : I think this panoramic camera is different from the 160 megapixel "rid-duh-culous" camera.

no, it's a ginormous camera attached to a Zaurus

maybe I should have put a smiley there in my original post!

yes, they are using a C1000 to control the camera!

I'm all for it.... The more products that come out with a zaurus attached to it the better sharp will support it....

Nice - apparently Zaurus accessories can be even more expensive than ipod accessories (I thought my 24'' imac is the most expensive accessory I would ever see but this would make it look like pocket change).

Hi,

yep, we also had fun seeing these camera (and now we know
why they needed the Zauris _that_ urgently   ).

Nice - apparently Zaurus accessories can be even more expensive than ipod accessories...

No problem. The most expensive "official" Zaurus accessory
that we know of is:

-- drumroll --

The SHARP AR-507 with integrated "Zaurus interface" (no joke).
It's a relatively small printer for the Zaurus with just 102 kg and
60 x 70 x 77 cm for the main unit. With all accessories it's a real
bargain for round about 35000 EUR  
Unfortunately no longer produced and we don't know if the newer
models even still support the Zaurus. But we had a good laugh
after we saw this in the service manuals.
Spec sheet here: AR-507 specs at SHARP USA
But you won't see the Zaurus interface in these specs, because
this option was only available in Japan.

zaurus is for the rich, eccentric hobbiest, elite, rare users, etc.

I just love it when i whip mines out and the"oh wow" and "glossy eye" come up.  They just come right up to me and ask, "what is that?  a mini laptop!"

That camera is just too crazy!  I would own one if i could afford it.  160megapixle?  crap!

Of course as soon as rich Z users get this they will start bombarding Sash etc with requests to squeeze some more cycles out of poor kernel cause the editing could feel a little sluggish

way down in the specs is written:


Control device        Sharp Zaurus or other handheld PDA devices; connected to camera via WLAN

looks like Zaurus is just one option ...
