Hi there,

I am a nature photographer and have had my canon power shot for about 8 years. I upload my photos to a print on demand site that prints my images on different products. One product that I tried to print says the image needs to be 82500 x 6415. My current camera width is only 4200 width so my thought is I need to upgrade. But as I began looking at cameras I'm realizing a camera that can produce 82500 x 6415 may not be in my price range. But I'm still thinking a upgrade would be good.

I am not sure if this is a typo, but there are not any cameras that can make an image that large. It would be 529 Megapixels, and an extremely long panorama photo. 12:1 aspect ratio.

Even if you added an extra zero and it is 8250x6415, that's 52MP, which is very uncommon. Was this a wall sized print or something?

As for cameras, what are your priorities? Do you need long zoom?

Could you use a tripod? Or, I am assuming you are in a wheelchair, would it be possible to mount the camera to the chair? If your camera is on a tripod or some other mount, then you are free to operate the buttons with your one hand without having to worry about holding it, too.
