One thing to add to Smooths post.

First let me say I have no where near the knowledge that Smooth has with photography and shooting panos. So with that said I do hope that my buddy Smooth takes no offense to this.

Yes I would also recommend the Canon line. However, I would go with the 400D (XT-i) as it uses the CF card format. I know that one day I will upgrade to the full frame 5D and it too uses the CF card format. So if you should choose the 450d(XSi) you will have all of these SD cards that will be of no use, unless the next generation 5D uses this type of card.

Just a thought when shopping.

That is a valid point that Pixel makes but it's at the expense of Live View and the other improvements of the 450D/XSi.

Memory is very cheap these days so wouldn't be a deciding factor for me. But these are all things to be considered.

Regards, Smooth

I only want to add to the camera info. I am not familiar with the pano shooting as of yet...tho I am trying. I am an art director of several print publications. The experience here is that the Nikon products produce a far better print vs. Cannon. I have also been given the same response by National Geographic photographers and Discovery photographers, tho National Geographic still prefers film or slides vs digital for their publication. Cannon usually gives a photo more yellow and usually has to be color corrected.

Now as far as the model is concerned, use the one that has the features that you feel you will use or need.

This is only an opinion for photos that go to print vs. web.
