X-Pan advantage????!!!!! What freaking advantage are
you talking about? Is this a joke?

The X-Pan the worst damn excuse for a panorama camera
ever! Nothing but a under achieving, over rated,
grossly over priced, point and shoot. The degrees of
view coverage is pathetic, the worst of any "so
called" professional panorama camera. You would be
better off with an any old 120/220 format camera, a
wide angle lens and a pair of scissors.

Both the Noblex and Roundshot are proven dependable
cameras that are vastly superior in panoramic
coverage. The Xpan is a medium format camera that only
uses 35mm film. You get LESS of the view than you do
with a regular Hassy, NOT MORE!

If I had the money for an Xpan I would buy both a
Roundshot AND a Noblex.
