Mosquito
are there any 50 megapixel video cameras, if not what is the highest megapixel video camera out there.
Answer
look at http://www.red.com and stop worrying about megapixels.
Think about what you ask for a second... what is the largest number of pixels a TV can display... 1920x1080? That's 2,073,600 pixels. 2MP. What are you going to do with the other 48Mp?

Very best professional digital camera?
Gimme top of the line recommendations.
Gosh I didn't know they ran that high! I'm not a pro photog I just want a pro camera for taking pictures of houses and such... and the 8-12MP isn't cutting it for me.
They're nice cameras but $30,000 is, well a bit nuts for a camera.
Answer
Top of the line would probably be Hasselblad H4D-50:
50 megapixels, medium format sized sensor, good for any professional work, including posters that are several stories tall, etc.
You can grab one here for about $29,000: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/671884-REG/Hasselblad_70480542_H4D_50_Digital_SLR_Camera.html
Then you'd need to add a few lenses and accessories (budget another 20,000 or so), and you'll have the best, top of the line professional digital camera kit money can buy!
Good luck,
LEM.

Ah, that changes everything!
I'm afraid 8-12mp is not your problem. From what you describe - it seems like what you may need is an entry level dSLR with a nice lens. Yes, I said entry level, or maybe, just maybe a prosumer level camera, but definitely not anywhere close to top of the line. Just like you don't buy a Ferrari or Bugatti to do weekly grocery shopping - you don't need a top of the line camera for photographing buildings, unless you're a pro...
Let's first rule out megapixel hunger. If your plans don't include printing the posters that are a few stories high, as I mentioned in original answer - you don't need more than 10. Alas, 10 is too much for about 99% of all people out there. Really, anything that is 6mp or more is a plenty for at least 8x10 or even 11x14 enlargements. Here's some more detailed reading on the topic: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm
Now that out of the way - what you need is an entry level SLR like Nikon D3000 or D5000 plus a good lens:
http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D3000-Digital-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G/dp/B002JCSV5I
http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D5000-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G-Vari-angle/dp/B00267S7TQ
Trust me - once you put on that good lens on an 8 or 10mp camera, you'll be miles better than anyone with a 12mp point&shoot, or even 16mp SLR with a crappy lens. Remember, a lens is what collects the light and projects it onto a sensor. If a lens quality is not good - the rest becomes irrelevant. No camera will capture an image that is better than that projected by a lens. A 14mp sensor will collect 14mp of junk, if the lens in front of it can't focus properly, creates color aberrations and distorts the lines. On the contrary a good sharp and adjusted lens will create a beautiful and stunning 6mp image on a sensor, and a decent sensor (all SLRs have excellent sensors that are at least 10-15 times bigger than closest p&s competitors) will collect and record a stunning photograph!
So if buildings is your passion - you may consider a wide angle lens such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-14-24mm-2-8G-Nikkor-Angle/dp/B000VDCTCI
Whoa - a lens that is three times more expensive than a camera? Yes - read above. The lens is your long term investment, you'll be using it for years to come. The camera bodies are disposable. New technologies come and go, bodies improve, lenses remain. If you're really serious about quality, consider buying a kit this way: You get an amazing lens and a camera body to go with it. Not the other way around.
Now, you probably don't have to buy that $1800 lens right away. Or ever. Start with a very decent 18-55mm lens that come with either camera I suggested. These kit lenses do take care of the shooting needs of about 80% of all people entirely. When you've had it for a while, you will know if you really need a wide angle (maybe not as nice and expensive as above) or maybe instead you'd want a telephoto (there's a good and inexpensive 55-200mm lens out there) or perhaps you want an all in one package - an excellent 18-200mm lens.
That's the beauty of dSLR. You can change lenses!
Last, but not least. Once you're equipped technically, you will really need to work on your skills to take great pictures. Just like buying an aforementioned Ferrari will not make you a race driver in one day - buying a good camera won't make you a pro photographer. Camera is your tool, and your skill and knowledge is what really creates great shots. Get some books or attend a class or two, and then you'll see how that 10mp camera will give you shots you have never imagined you could take. And leave the piles of useless megapixels to those who are not in the know!
LEM.
P.S. Oh, and I'm a Nikon guy, but to be fair - there's also an excellent line of Canon Digital Rebels cameras, and similar set of lenses for them, if you want to go that route. I am just more familiar with Nikons, so I used them as examples here. Canons are just as good - your choice!
