highest megapixel camera in the world image
Simon Legr
I've seen 10 megapixel cameras but I'm sure there are ones higher than that. Please tell me what is the highest amount that technology has enabled us to create.
Answer
In a regular camera format, the Canon 1Ds Mark ll has 16.7 megapixels. It costs $7.000 without lenses.
For studio work, the Hasselblad mentioned above has 39 megapixels on a single sensor. It costs $30.000.
They could go larger... it's really just a matter of time, but for now it's cost prohibitive.
Some people have made 1 GIGApixels images (also mentioned above) but this is accomplished by stitching hundreds of smaller pictures together.

What is the next level up from a 12 megapixel camera?

I want a professional camera that is digital. Do they make these or do they only have the mm film cameras?
Answer
Don't get lost in the Megapixel debate. If you're looking for a 'professional' quality camera, then you must move to (at least) a dSLR. And then forget about pixels.
If you have a 12.1Mp compact or bridge camera now, I can absolutely guarantee that any dSLR will hammer it for quality irrespective of the number of pixels. I still use an ageing 6 megapixel SLR that takes stunning photographs. It always will; and it will always beat a compact. The sensor physical size and the amount of (good) glass in front of it is what defines quality. A compact or bridge (superzoom) camera has a tiny sensor and miniscule optics. They don't get any better by adding more pixels (you could argue they get worse). The only reason they keep upping the pixel count is because the public drive the demand without knowing anything else about photography.
You could buy a Sony a850 or 900 with over 24 million pixels if you want, though.
Film arguably still has the edge over digital - but not in real-world resolution performance. Films have better exposure tolerances; they take longer to 'burn out' on highlights and they can record shadow areas better than digital sensors but your average high street printer removes these advantages by using poor printing techniques.
