Many people have wondered if the megapixel race will ever end. The highest megapixel camera is constantly improving and changing. 12 to 16 megapixel cameras are quite common today for consumer level point-and-shoot and DSLR. Any higher we are dealing with professional level cameras that will cost over US$20,000.

Swedish camera maker Hasselblad has recently released an amazing 200 megapixel medium-format camera the Hasselblad H4D-200MS that costs $45,000.

To give you a little background history, the most famous use of the Hasselblad camera was the still photographs taken when man first landed on the Moon. It was also used during the Apollo program for most of the missions.
