Photography is about to become a lot more detailed with the Phase One IQ180. The Phase One IQ180 is a digital camera back that shows pictures in an incredible 80 megapixels.

The Phase One IQ180 attaches to the back of a medium-format camera to give photographers a better view of what they just shot. This camera back is great for professional photographers looking to get the most out of their cameras. Unfortunately, recreational photogs are probably going to miss out on all of the 80-megapixel godliness: Phase One is pricing the IQ180 at $43,000.
