50 MegaPixels

Engineers at Swedish medium format specialist Hasselblad have cooked-up the highest resolution 48 x 36 mm camera: the H3DII-50. The company has announced its intention to produce a 645 format sensor. Continuing the company's long history of collaboration with Kodak, the new camera is based around the US company's new 50MP sensor. The new body is also designed to accomodate the company's HTS 1.5 Tilt/Shift cradle that allows traditional lenses to be tilted and shifted.]

The Price?

$39,995. :O

One of my friends bought the H3D (39 MP) - total cost came to 21 Lakhs with one extra lens.

Pointless IMO, I'd anyday buy a large format camera with a digital back if I needed that resolution. Most pros do that anyways.

(And this was just a test shot, there is one of a car that's totally shows off the camera's capabilities, he hasn't uploaded it yet - like most of his photographs).
