I was hoping that they used a medium format camera like Hasselblad or something for the larger pics... but no such luck. I guess weight might have been one factor.

Still, the pics are mind blowing. Out of this world, tbh

A 20.8 megapixel 5568 x 3712 pixels is not a shitty image. When we get to see those images, they will be much better than the GoPro images we're seeing

it was light gathering. the D5 they brought is a very old camera tech wise, but it was ideal for the low light photos of the eclipse. they also brought a Z9 for much higher resolution photos.
