Well, my trusty and very old 2mb Fuji Fine Pix A203 camera finally crapped out on me last week. So...I'm in the market for a new camera.

One of my main criteria for a new camera was that I wanted a wide angle of say 20-28mm or so. But, then I thought about stitching together pictures to give myself the wide angle view I was looking for.

Well, that lead me on a search for a free photo stitching program. And here is a fabulous free program this I found:

As you can see from the stitched picture (you gotta see the pic onto the flickr site, not the one above), the results are really good. But since my camera is pretty low resolution, the final picture is not as detailed as I would like.

I will post an autostitch from my upcoming weekend trip to Maui cause I will be borrowing my brother's Canon SD400 which is a 4mb camera.
