BREAKING NEWS! Chinese manufacturer Penchan has figured out how to make a cute little blue camera have 5.5 Terapixel resolution which equals about 5,500,000 megapixels. That makes this little camera thousands of times more sensitive than even the most high-tech cameras.
How did they manage such a breakthrough? And why are there not more people talking about it? And we know it can’t be a lie. It’s on the internet. Everything on the internet is totally true. Always. — Andrew Dobrow

Bet that thing's expensive, too. The duckie decal must put it into triple figures by itself.

I swear that these manufacturers live by the motto...

I'm pretty sure that thing's not even a real working camera.

Look at the lens: it's faceted. Definitely just a cheap hunk of plastic to buy kids.

So, no advertising failure here. It's just a goofy toy.

What the hell are you talking about? Each facet is 1.1 terapixels. That's how they crammed more pixels in. More lens equals more pixels.

That's how cameras work...

right?

You think that's bad? I bought the model without the little ducky just last week. Same everything else, just no ducky.

I've been trying to coax my hand away from the jar of cyanide capsules ever since. I can never fix this mistake.
