Re: Horizon 202

[WillMall@xxxxxxx]

Hi Everyone-
I am new to the Panorama list, and have to say, that I am finding the posts
fascinating and informative.  I have recently bought a Horizon 202 and am
really enjoying using it.  I am currently trying to think of the best ways to
use the camera concerning subjects and perspectives.  It is a whole new world
of photography to me.  After reading the post concerning banding with the
Horizon,  I have a question:  My cameras fastest shutter speed is 1/250  -
This is the second mention I have seen here of Horizon 202's with a fastest
shutter speed of 1/500.  Is this camera a Horizon 202 also?  What is the range
of shutter speeds for this higher speed camera (does it add 1/15 to the slower
shutter range?

Also, is there an accesible archive of this list so that I may waste, uh...,
invest a few hundred hours searching for past information and ideas?

Have there been many posts about digital "stiching" in Photoshop (or other) to
create panoramas?

Thanks for any response which you may offer.

 On my Horizon 202 with the new faster 1/500 of a second speed, there
 were horizontal "streaks" of slightly greater or lesser exposure across
 the entire image.  It could clearly be seen in the blue sky, and it
 occured at 1/500, and to a much lesser degree at 1/250 of a sec.  It
 could not be seen at 1/125 or /60 sec.
