I'm having a play with panoramas lately and am looking for the most intuitive way to create them.
So far I've been taking single photos and stitching them in Photoshop, which works fine.
I find it hard though to pre-visualize the result while taking the photos. (e.g. quickly trying different angles, viewpoints, etc.)
On yesterdays photo outing I used my smartphone's sweep panorama to do some test panoramas, until I found the composition I liked best. Then I took the usual succession of stills with my "real camera", trying to duplicate that composition.
This worked to some degree and with some more practice I'll probably get better.
I was wondering though, what are the best options for in-camera panoramas?
Ideally, I'd like the ease of use of a smartphone -> move the camera and see the panorama-creation live on screen. (but at a better quality than my horrible cheapo-Android-phone )
Does such a thing exist?
I'm open to CSC's, compact cameras, even smartphones
cheers,
Tilman
