I wonder if we can expect this from Nikon at some time?

if i really, really, REALLY need that kind of resolution, i'll pull my F5 out of the cupboard and load up with some Velvia or similar.
voila, far higher resolution than the 'blad @ a fraction the cost.
That is what we (DSLR shooters) have multiple focus points for, while Hasselblads H series just have one (center).I want the accelerometer focus setup from the new Hasselblads. That'd be great when shooting at 1.4.
Buy a GigaPan robot and stitch with the included software—or software of choice. The Hassleflex will only do a 200MP scene without movement, while the Gigapan software will do up to nine shots at each position, letting you avoid cutting vehicles or pedestrians into parts, or even doing HDR with a 9.0EV range. It will handle a D700 and most Nikon lenses for under a thousand dollars.
The Hassleblad certainly is nothing to write off, if you have clients that can afford it, but for an enthusiast there are less expensive solutions that give you entry into practical gigapixel resolutions.
... 35mm fullframe digital is starting to look a bit stale.
I really doubt you'd get the same resolution from a 35mm slide. Now if you shot 6x6 or larger I wouldn't hold my breath.
35mm film is still sharper and capable of higher resolving values than any digital sensor yet made.
