it's not a camera. it's an array of cameras.

The gigapixel camera uses 98 identical microcameras in unison, each armed with its own set of optics and a 14-megapixel sensor

I think Canon is too late to have a high MP camera.

if you don't need instantaneous capture of all them there pixels, you can totally do that right noow!  With a gigapan thingy!  Heck, someone made a 270 gigapixel (panoramic) image, haha..
