I'm wandering if any one knows about panoramic cameras. what is a good one to invest in buing? I've been looking at the panx and I know fuji makes one but I don't know much about them. I want one for shoting mostly landscpes. If any one has one or knows about panoramic cameras what should I look for when buing one.

I should advise you Horizon panoramic cameras, for example Horizon S3 Pro (203) camera (recommended) or Horizon 202.
Also there are Horizon S3 U-500 and finally Horizon 205pc panoramic camera.

The best variant from all Horizon cameras is S3Pro.

Here is the japanese webpage for the panoramic camera Fuji TX-2

In HK, it costs approx. HK$13800 for a body with a 45mm lens.

Hasselblad also provides the exactly same camera, called "XPAN2". It costs approx. HK$19800 for a body with a 45mm lens.
