iPhone 5 pano camera

--- Z --- · 14 Sep 2012 at 20:01

Well, I cant be the only one here, but I ordered the iPhone 5 today, and i have to say, one of the things i am really looking forward to is this panoramic camera option. The option for a 28MP pano that is automatically done is very tempting, but i wonder how it will stand up under inspection compared to the propper software??

Anyone else on here interested?

I should get mine next friday, so will take it for a whirl then.

Got this feature on my S3 - it's OK but not very practical and the novelty wore off pretty quick

I just use the 360 Panorama app. It was free a few weeks ago on the app store. Works a treat.

My htc one x does the job

Surely this is new iOS 6 feature that is not exclusive to iPhone 5?

Surely this should be in the phone forum and not for actual photography?

Shock horror as iPhone 'exclusive' has already been done.

Think the wife's old 8mp phone used to do this.... :S

You mean looking backward?

Good old Apple; I wonder exactly how many people have been brainwashed into thinking this is something Apple invented. Too bad it wasn't patented by Samsung a couple years ago

Its functional on the iPhone 4S iOS6. I am running it.

It works remarkably well and quick but yeah don't expect it to be a replacement for a dslr pano. I do love how fast it takes to make it. I would probably say a solid 1 second. Seems fantastic.

At what point have apple ever said they invented this?

God everyone is saying this crap at the moment. Get off the bandwagon.

I've done this on my sensation before. Works quite well at stitching. Still doesn't get anywhere close to shooting with a decent camera and stitching on photoshop...

I think it's more the point that there are large numbers of Apple follower who assume that when Apple do something that it must be a new thing.

Only thing I'm interested to see about it is as to whether it's any better than the countless other panorama apps that have been available for years.

Oh please Apples business practices and recent court cases are just ridiculous its hardly any wonder people jump on this particular band wagon.

This iphone5 looks nice, as you would expect, but nothing like the innovation apple used to bring about.

Plus pano does tend to get old very quickly
