Default need help with project!

What's going on guys I need a little bit of help here with a project I want to try and do.

One of the walls in my room is about 8'x8' I want to get a really good picture taken of the SS and then find out where and what company can blow it up into a 8'x8' sixzed wallpaper. I have seen these done before at some of my friends houses and people who have them on the web.

What kind of camera/ equipment would be needed to take a picture that could be blow up and not be destorted. And how would I go about getting it on my wall/ made into a wall paper? All I have is a sony cyber shot

Thanks for any help

Also if there would be anyway to get lettering/ text onto the final wallpaper piece that would be awesome

As far as camera goes you need a really high mega pixel camera. i've never tried it but my canon xt is 8.0 mega pix and on it's highest raw setting i think you start to see distortion at about a 20" x 30" size. You'd need the latest camera like 15 mp and thoes cost about $10k so I don't know what to tell you. film might be a better option (its pixel range is in the billions) but I don't know how you would be able to blow that up. And making something that size would be really $. just my $.02

Just have the pic converted to a Vector type image.
Most printing press use this file to make huge banners.

Do some poking around on this website...
It lets you upload an image file, and it will spit out multiple pdf files that you can piece together to form a whole image whatever size you want.
May want to give er a test run before you go spending a whole lot of $$ on a professional pic.
