Imagine if Fuji could make a pano version of the x100, just put two sensors side by side, slightly wider body/viewfinder, compact digital pano heaven!!!

I am sure it does, but shooting a pano on a single frame, as opposed to stitching or sweeping or cropping, has many advantages.

I suggested that a while ago. Sensor size wise, it would be larger than the 35mm "fullframe," so they will have to charge $10K plus, but if they can do that for ~$10K, I think they will have a small but strong following - I will buy it for sure.

I think you can't put two sensors side by side, just like you can't do that with two film rolls.

Of course they will have to redesign the sensor so the wires come out the right places and not just literally putting two regular sensors side by side. What we are talking about really is the shape of the sensor.

I think you could butt two sensors together, only there would have to be a visible join line between them. You could even put three small sensors together, with each one oriented vertically. If each one had a 4:3 proportion, then the composite sensor would be 9:4. Arranged horizontally, the whole picture would be 12:3, for a 4:1 aspect ratio. The question is, though, would enough people want one if there has to be thin blank spaces between adjacent panels? If would look like three-lens Cinerama!

built in triptychs...that would be kinda cool too.
