There was a discussion some while ago about an iPad sized camera that would 
have an array of say 20 x 25 small iPhone type cameras with hardware and 
software that would integrate the images into a single image. If each camera 
were 8mp, allowing for overlap you could easily come up with a 2.5gp camera, 
and even with pixel binning for better quality you could have a very high 
quality 500mp camera. Give the camera an extra 3mm thickness for the extra 
battery power, hardware and maybe a tripod socket and thunderbolt port, and 
you'd have your digital 8x10 camera, handholdable if desired and with 
endless depth of field. On the latter front, you can certainly reduce that 
with software if needed and also simulate movements. There's an iPad to get 
excited about.
