I understand cruising altitudes vary, but I've been able to see airplane reg numbers using a 6MP APS-C dslr at 200mm and post-shot image review zoom. Has anyone done resolution math to fact check the assertion?  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.87|108.162.221.87]] 23:10, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I don't think the comic mentioned anything about the price of the camera. 108.162.215.116 16:12, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
