Na, they are probably just looking at dust on the sensor

Traditional Billboards don't require a lot of MP or resolution/Detail by the way. Walk up to one and you will see what I mean.

Something the average-Joe-commuter probably doesn't do that often.

Think of the size in degrees (within your FOV) instead of the physical size. A billboard at thirty or so metres away isn't that huge compared to, say, a monitor at arms length.

Hasselblad was not the king of the resolution heap anyway. Far from it. How about the 160MP Seitz Roundshot? Or the top Betterlight scanning backs?

How come they're just now doing this? We've had scanning backs for years, and also, I'm sure a 5D with a macro lens could show us the same thing(eyebrows). No need for 200+MP. Bah.
