Hi rfh12002,
Furthermore to the above thread, I started doing panoramas back in 2000. My first camera was an Epson PC-650 with which I used a semi-fisheye lens, that I purchased from Jessops here in the UK. then about Feb 2004 I purchased the CP4500. Like everything, you ponder about the quality of the camera that you purchase , it is very human to think that someone else has a better camera than you, you look at their panoramas and they are beautifull, but you have to take into consideration that many panographer have been doing it for years. As you perfect your technique, get to know your camera.exchanged tips and get help from friends, like Dave Albright, your camera takes a new lease of life. You can appreciate my learning curve when you visit my web site; in there is a mixture of panoramas that have been taken with the PC-650 on free hand no tripod, and the CP4500 with the nodal point out of aligment due to a poorly designed panohead and the one's with a good panohead and the Nodal point in the correct place. The page on Barcelona is a good example.
kind regards,
Rodrigo
