You probably nailed the answer here. While these satellites are sometimes getting good features on let's say a small automobile, the array is huge. So any hand held camera would not have enough width to get the large waves into a cohesive detailed image.

I'm fairly certain the large array in any country is not "this in compact camera form". But yes indeed that type image is what I'm talking about minus the nebula clusters and more buildings from the local neighborhood. :D ~ T

Thank you! I agree on the many little antennas thing. The satellite's hardware is called synthetic aperture for just that reason. I was curious if anyone had seen this in compact camera form. Sonar is definitely the idea (with baby ultrasounds looking amazing now) but sound is a whole other...
