Renowned British photographer Drew Gardner was at Photokina 2008 this year helping demonstrate the 60.5 mega pixel, Phase One P 65+ digital back.

Phase One is a Danish company that specializes in high-end, medium-format cameras; digital backs; and RAW processing software. For those of you unfamiliar with the term digital back, Wikipedia tells us that it is "a device which attaches to the back of a camera in place of a film holder and contains an electronic image sensor. This lets cameras which were designed to use film take digital photographs."

The sensor on the P 65+ is absolutely mammoth and comes with a price tag to match, but as Drew explains (and shows us), the results are both spectacular and well worth it.
