2 dimensional auto stich in-camera?
August 22, 2011 5:22 PM   Subscribe

Are there any consumer digital cameras that can stitch photos in-camera creating a horizontal AND vertical panorama at the same time resulting in a relatively square image as the result?

I know that "sweep panorama" is available. You have to choose whether to compose a horizontal panorama like this:

[1][2][3][4][5]

or a vertical panorama like this:

[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]

I am looking for a camera that can create an auto-stitched image in-camera that is composed like this:

[1][2][3]
[6][5][4]
[7][8][9]

Resulting in a relatively square image.

Are there any digital cameras that have this function?

Does it have to be in camera?

You may know this: it's not a consumer digital camera, but the iPhone has an app or two that allows you to stitch in both directions, allowing you to create a spherical panorama.

Yep, it's Photosynth for the iPhone and it's great!

Response by poster: - yes is must be done in camera.

- I don't consider the iphone a camera in terms of this question.

- I currently use the poweshot S3. It has what is called a "stitch assist" which helps you line up pictures to be stitched later on a computer. It does not stitch in-camera.

Auto-stitch for iPhone does this very well.
