You guys take it too personal for some reason and somehow miss the points...
And good luck with you efforts!

3. Digital allows me to frame, compose, and stitch in any ratio, not just 2x3 or 4x5 or 6x17. Not all panos are 180-degree landscapes, you know. How about a 5-shot macro pano (60MP total) for the exquisite detail to be found in each petal of a rose? Can a 6x17 camera do that?.
I shoot a 4x5, 8x10, and soon a 6x17. With my 8x10, I can overextend the bellows to shoot a closeup image. It is very easy to crop out just a panoramic aspect ratio, yet still maintain a huge surface area that can be scanned for a mural sized print. Is it practical? It depends on the output you have in mind. I've actually been doing a fair amount of that lately. If I did that with the 8x10, you'd darn near see the cells. :-)
I use to do some pano work with stitching, but found that it didn't fit my style because I could not set a precise composition through the viewfinder. I never quite knew exactly what I would get. I wanted the resolution, but not the stitching process. Stitching was fine for mid-day shots, but darn near impossible for shots that require a long exposure. For my own needs, I found that film gave me the image quality I wanted.
