I got a new camera (Sony WX1) and I've been playing with it. One nifty feature of the camera is that it'll make panorama shots. You just press the shutter, and then pan the camera.

A normal shot looks like this (a barn in Vermont).

But if you try to confuse the camera and follow a moving object (Ann riding a horse), you get a picture like this:

And now, here we have Ann, riding her new centihorse...

Reminds me of Nude Descending A Staircase

Curious as to what drove your decision (remembering your solicitation of advice). I know you come from having had a Sony camera in the past, but was that the deciding factor? (Also, are they still enamored of their proprietary memory stick, or have they migrated to SD/CF cards?)

The panoramic feature is indeed neat, but have you seen what happens if you were to take the "VT barn shot" (insert "broad side of a barn" comment here, BTW) on a blustery day? (i.e. with trees swaying, etc.) What about if a bird was passing through?
Can you set the time interval that the camera takes each segment of the panorama?

Is that barn circular, or am I seeing things?

That's really neat! I wonder how a person could play with that effect...
