Recent images from the Fuji Natura Black P&S

No problem Yaron.

I also highly recommend the Hugin software although it takes some time getting used to.
Just remember to overlap your pictures by 30% give or take so that the software can match points and align.
Notice (attached image) that the software does not usually produce a perfectly rectangular result.
My hope is that with CS5's new PatchMatch technology (content-aware fill) I won't have to crop the stitched image in post:

Kevin - that's true of Hugin, my images were essentially cropped due to the process. Not too shabby IMO, but no doubt not the same as a straight panoramic camera!
 
You're probably right, but I have too many cameras - lately I've been feeling stressed sometimes trying to decide which one to walk out the door with - That's not a good feeling.

I need to simplify - I may not get an Xpan right away because of this feeling - but, I'm planning a special trip in late summer in which the Xpan would be nice to have.

Sorry to get off topic here...
 
It's all good Yaron, I especially feel your pain regarding having too many cameras! I also am in the same situation, having multiple 35mm and medium format cameras that I love to use. So every time going out of the house, it becomes a struggle trying to figure out which camera to take! Even my recent efforts to pare down resulted in acquiring more gear 🙁

Anyway, good luck with the sale! I'm probably going to have to sell off some more gear in the next few weeks so I can get my cameras and gears to a reasonable level. Until then, though...
 
For people with lots of cameras it's actually a very simple decision to make -> take the camera(s) already loaded with the film(s) you want to shoot that day.
 
Kevin, that is a good approach, with only 1 problem. I usually do not shoot enough to finish too many rolls (135 format, at least) so that approach makes it tough. But for the medium format cameras, definitely the way I choose whatever camera to use at the moment!
 
Haven't posted on here for a while, was just going through some scans and chanced upon the last roll which I did not do much with at the time (Feb.). But some shots turned out quite nice!

All were taken with Ektar 100

I quite like the atmosphere in this shot. LA Farmer's Market:
