If (and only if) you need to make large prints then stitching is the way to go: With care taken in taking the original shots and the use of dedicated stitching software like PanoramaMaker, it's much faster and easier than most people think. If it's for online use only, (and it sounds from your description as if that's the case) you won't need the high resolution of multi-image stitching - just go with a top-quality rectilinear wide angle. In short: Get yourself an ist-D or DS2 and the recent Pentax 14mm prime. :) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
