is there a progam in the canon rebel xti for panoramic photos?

dslr camera with panoramic feature image

Q. i need help!!! i have a project due and i dont have any programs for my camera.PLEASE HELP!

Answer
No. No dslr camera has this feature - it's just another cheesy snappers feature.

You'll have to download / buy software to make panoramic photos with your camera. Beyond that you'll have to learn how to shoot for the editor. That means shooting photos that will actually stitch together to look right as a panorama.

There's no doubt several write ups on the subject on the web so Google or Bing for them.

SLR digital cameras with Panoramic mode?

killerwhal

I'm looking to purchase a new digital camera. For about 5/6 years I've used a small point-and-shoot Canon Powershot A 520, and it had a mode on there known as the photo-stitch mode (where I can shoot pictures that match with one another, and when I upload the pictures on my laptop, I stitch the photos together to make a panoramic picture). So far, I've noticed that most point-and-shoot digital cameras have this mode. The SLR digital cameras (for example, an Olympus E-5, a Nikon D3200, etc) do not have this mode, or so I've researched. I don't wish to go back to using a small point-and-shoot digital camera just to have the panoramic feature I want because I want to use an SLR digital camera and have the ability to change lenses...a camera with a black, bulky body feature (like the Canon EOS series or the Nikon D series). I really enjoy taking panoramic photos just in case you're wondering why I want a panoramic feature on my camera. Are there any specific brand SLR digital cameras out there that have the panoramic feature I'm looking for? I already have the software for Photo-stitch. I'm looking for serious, professional answers to this question.
So, in other words...it doesn't matter what type of SLR digital camera I get for myself. If I wanted to do panoramic pictures, I'd have to have a steady hand. If I don't have a steady hand, I'll have to use a tripod. That makes sense. But if SLR digital cameras do not have the panoramic mode, how come point-and-shoot digital cameras do have the mode? The Canon Powershot A 520 has that mode, and that camera is a point-and-shoot.

Answer
There really is no reason you would need such a feature in a dSLR camera

Just shoot two or three overlapping shots and merge them in a program like Photoshop.

Here is a sample using three overlapping images

This shot was done hand holding the camera, but unless you are very experienced keeping a camera level while shooting overlapping shots, you may want to use a tripod

Should I get a regular digital camera or a DSL?

What do you recommend? Can I still get a regular size picture that is good quality and not blurred or covered in pixels with a normal digital camera?

Answer
There are three main reasons to get a DSLR -

1. Flexibility, the ability to add many specialized lenses and accessories for things such as panoramic shooting (wide angle), getting close to subjects from a distance (telephoto) and high magnification (macro) . There are also special lenses or accessories for portraits, lighting, etc.

2. Performance, in general DSLR's have higher performance functions such as faster shutter response (the picture is taken the instant you press the shutter), better continuous shooting (2-10 frames in rapid sequence), faster image processing (writing images to memory).

3. Quality, DSLR's usually have more options for recording to high quality formats (including RAW) which provide a better basis for making technically superior images and have higher quality lenses and sensors designed to optimize the recorded images.

In general you do not use the viewing screen to compose pictures but look through an "eye-level" viewfinder. Some new DSLR cameras now have on screen focusing/composition but the price of using it is often a slowed shutter response.

If you are interested in shooting action or sports you probably should look at a DSLR or possibly a "Prosumer" type model with through the lens viewing (the SLR part of DSLR). If fast shutter response isn't an issue and if you don't care about any of the other benefits of a DSLR then go for a point & shoot.

Check out Steve's Digicams to find many models to compare. Good brands are (in alphabetical order) Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus,Panasonic & Pentax. Be sure to check out his section "Steve's Conclusion" for a quick summary of features, benefits and opinions. I have included links to recent consumer models from each of the companies listed above.

Hope this helps, good luck!
