Yes there is a Gigapixel Camera:
World's Highest Resolution (Gigapixel) digital Camera
Its difficult to say exactly how far pixels can be taken?

wow. You can imagine in a few years time, this will be available in the size of a small camera, and it will be on shop shelves!

There is a physical limit on the amount of MP/GP a camera can have. I can't recall why, but it's to do with the wavelength of light.
That limit is around 2-3GP I think.

Of course it all depends on the size of the sensor. Gigapixel cameras might get to be widely spread soon but most likely in telescopes not point and shoot cameras.

I wonder what the real point is though seeing as our eye can only see 560 Megapixel...the rest is going to well waist.
