Hasselblad H4D-200MS offers 200 megapixel multi-shot images -DPReview

Hasselblad has announced a camera capable of producing 200MP images
based on shifting its 50MP sensor. The H4D-200MS uses an extension of
the company's sensor-shift, multi-shot (MS) technology to create a 200
megapixel file from six images taken at slight offsets. It can also
use the four-shot mode used by the H4D-50MS that shifts the sensor by
one pixel in each direction to capture all colors at each position.
The latest approach adds 1/2pixel offsets to increase the captured
resolution to 200MP. The H4D-200MS is available for Euro 32,000 or as
a Euro 7,000 factory-return upgrade for H4D-50MS owners.

Curious, I just figured if they shifted the sensor to fill the 60x60mm
image circle of their old film system, using the same pixel density,
that works out to 100MP. Maybe as much detail as this system, which has
a 36x49mm sensor at 50MP (6132 x 8176 pixels). Or put a 12MP D3 sensor
in there and shift it into four blocks, not including overlap and that's
only 48MP. Use a 25MP FX sensor and you get 100MP.

OTOH, with nice studio lighting, use a compact P&S with pano stitching
and get as many pixels as you want :-)

Really hard to do accurately.
