Anybody had any experence with the Horizon Model 950. It's 35mm with only two shutter speeds Day or Night and is very inexpensive I was told the image quality was very good. Please Advise. Thanks Brince

mrb, thanks for the info, but this 202 doesn't look like the 950 other than there both swing lens. The 950 is really a very basic pano camera. Thats why I was questioning it's image quality.

I think the basic problem with the Horizon is not image quality, it's quality control. There are stories out there in cyberspace about people having to return 2 or 3 Horizons before they got one that worked. The main complaint appears to be cogging: the lens does not move smoothly across, it moves in little jumps that leave banding problems on the image.

This is what I have gathered from reading.
