Thanks to all of you who reported this to us. Here is what Richard sent in:

Due to my wanderings in a photo forum I discovered a post which spoke of a digital camera which has very impressive specs...
http://www.roundshot.ch/xml_1/internet/de/application/d438/d925/f934.cfm

It takes 6x17 pictures with a 160 MP sensor (that's not an error, it really is 160). The sensor is a DALSA.
The photo files are 922 Mb, which makes using compact flash impossible. Instead the manufacturer provides a rather unusual storage device, in fact, it is nothing other than a Mac mini, which is connected to the camera via Gigabit Ethernet... Astonishing, no?
