Re: 12 Canon 10D panoramas using Sigma 8mm Fisheye



Dear Giorgio,

I was in two minds like you too, but the Canon 10D is so much better in terms of work flow speed, so if you are making money it would pay for itself quickly.

Since Matthew was comparing his high resolution version against my low resolution web panoramas, I have produced a comparative example to the one Matthew is showing off.

<http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtour/canon10dthumbs/canon10d-highrez.htm>

I wouldn't want to get into an argument about which one is better, but mine is from just seven photos, I see less stitching errors in this example and less chromatic abberation by the lens. Some other differences could be down to the amount of sharpening done in post processing, I didn't bother and just let Stitcher use its default settings.

Thanks Karl, thanks Matthew
This comparison test is really important for me!

I need urgently to upgrade my camera (A Coolpix 995 very tired...) and I
was thinking about:

1) a "light-upgrade": Nikon Coolpix 5000 + Coolfix adaptor + Kaidan
Kiwi5000 cradle kit (+19mm wideangle for multirow stitching)
2) a "heavy-update": Digital Reflex (Canon D10) + Fisheye 8mm (Sigma)

Actually I have 2 panoramic heads: a Kaidan Kiwi990+Kiwi995 upgrade kit
and a Kaidan spherichal (for small digital cameras).
The choiche is not easy for me. I should need some tips from you. What's
the better choiche?

So, what do you suggest me?
[For information: last year I shot about 1000 panoramas (most with 2
fisheye circle images), a small part for business, the bigger free of
charge: small business, big number of shots]

A- sell 995 with lens and Kiwi995 and upgrade to reflex
B- just upgrade to 5000
C- Buy D10+Sigma and use 995 when lower quality required
D- Buy 5000 and wait for a full frame CCD camera (or customized digital
SLR fisheye lens)
E- other...

Cordially, thanks in advance

                    Giorgio Marchetto
