Best panorama feature camera?

The SD3500is is a superb camera, but for panoramic images, they only offer photo stiching for this model. However, the Sony TX7 or TX 9 have superb and easy to access total paroramic imaging. The Sony TX7 compared to the Canon SD3500is are both excellent cameras. However, the Sony TX 7 has the new CMOS (low light sensor) and is even more compact than even the Canon SD3500is. There is no lens that extends on the Sony either. But the Canon offers tap viewing which when in the viewing mode is a nice feature . Either camera (which I own both of the mentioned) are excellent cameras.

It has a panoramic button. You just move the camera as you are taking the picture. I never used it, but want to this summer. Hope this helps.

I have the sony and love it. I particularly like the fantastic panoramic feature - I dont see a reference to that on the panasonic description here. I have had the Olympus variants of the waterproof cameras in the past and they were quite good. Have not taken the sony into the water yet - I assume it will be trouble free (as the olympus cameras have been in the past). The picture quality on the sony is a step up from my past cameras. Having not tried the Panasonic yet, I recommend the sony.

The camera is very well set up as far as navigating the menus and explaining what they are. I think that's it's best feature. With mine, however, photo quality was inconsistent, so that's a consideration.

No the camera does not have panorama shot feature. To do that you need a camera with ultrawide fisheye lens, not only wide angle lens.

I think I will buy the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 hybrid camera when more positive reviews are available, probably in April. It has stereo sound recording, usable zoom while taking video and 3" 460K resolution LCD. The only minor drawback with it is it does not support manual mode. There is no RAW mode too at this time, but that's software and they can easily add that later in new firmware. It also costs about $50 more than the SX200. Of course the SX1 IS is better, but that is a different class of camera and too bulky for light traveling.

Is there a camera with similar characteristics but with the ability to be controlled by a joystick? Thanks.

I'm on Windows as well and still wondering if I should buy this camera - does it have anything decent offered on Windows?

Funny thing, I have not used the panoramic mode. (Which is crazy because I live on a river!) But I do love my camera!it takes awesome pictures.

You can get decent quality pics from the rear facing camera. It has several settings for adjusting resolution, shooting mode, exposure, etc. You'll want to change the storage to the external sd card otherwise you'll run out of space quickly. The flash can be overly bright and can wash out your subject if you're too close. I like the panoramic shooting mode. I find pictures taken with the zoom are less detailed. The front facing camera produces good quality pics. I haven't used it with any chat apps like Skype so I can't comment on that. Video mode works well too.

Hi B. Payne, yes, te camera can be set to Sweep Panorama by changing the Shoot Mode in the Camera Settings. Thanks_Mitch

The answer is effectively no. The camera will not automatically stitch panoramas. It does have a panorama shooting mode, but it saves the images individually and requires that you stitch them together with the bundled software on a computer. You cannot edit or adjust these images at all before stitching. I found the process frustrating. I do take panoramas with this camera, but use a third party program (Hugin) or iPad app (Panorama) and do not use the camera's panorama mode (since I prefer to have finer control over exposure and white balance).

This is not the camera for you. It is slightly telephoto. For wide angle try the Muvi, wide angle view but sound too loud. I did a side by side (literally) comparison of these cameras posted on July 24 which you can see at https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1428053564150394&set;=o.372427406740&type;=2&th;eater

I don't believe this camera has the feature built in to take panoramic shots.

No but the standard setting when I turn the camera on is "wide angle."The guide book refers to it in that manner. The small control zoomsthe lens so you can really use the telephoto. The wide angle is notthe same as the 'panorama' feature I have had on other cameras.

Sort of. There's a "Panorama" Scene mode, but it's essentially just an onscreen guide for lining up multiple images. You're expected to actually stitch these together later in software. If your scene is in the distance, and you pay close attention to the part of the scene that's in the left-most box and place it in the right-most box for the next shot, this system actually works pretty well.
