It does prove that the line scan camera is capable of being used like a
conventional
DSLR for some things and it's a cheap way to gain resolution, versus
what a real 160 meg
CCD would cost.  $36,000 is peanuts compared to that.

Looks like a pretty worthless camera (or at least not worth close to
$36K), just what would you use it for?

If the obvious needs to be stated to you, then so be it:  Not all scenes
or images have movement in them.  This is a superior method, for
example, than mosaicing large detailed scenes.

Not at all, with mosaicing you can have movement in the scene, I have
lots with people walking and cars going by as well as trees swaying.

I have better control if my FOW with mosaicing then this camera can
give.

I have a lighter camera to carry around.

I have more range on what aspect ratio I want in the image.

And since my lens only need to produce a small part of the image at a
time I can get a sharper image.

Their Roundshot D3 looks like a much better camera to me is one really
wants to scan.

It takes at least one second to expose a scene...which means no movement can
be in that scene.
-That doesn't sound like anything resembling a convention DSLR to me...
