Hi Alan, You are asking the wrong question. Of course taking a picture using a single shot is more convenient, particularly if the desired resolution is adequate. Stitching is used to overcome limitations in resolution or in field of view. That's how it is possible to generate images not otherwise achievable with regular film and lenses. For instance 360x180 spherical views e.g. http://autos.yahoo.com/surround/ or even that "other" kind of "EOS" (Earth Observation Science) where satellite imagery is combined into seamless mosaics. see: http://terraweb.wr.usgs.gov/ Cheers Julian Loke * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
