Well, I'm laughing since what he describes is non-stereo so is banned
from this list! :-)
BUT to be polite and offer an answer, the new APS that is neither 35mm
or 120 (being less than 35mm wide), offers formats of normal, HDTV, and
panoramic! Because the better ones have zooms, the minimum focal length
does not give as good a panoramic view as earlier 35mm camera with the
pan format feature that often had 24mm lens. (24mm on the narrow APS
film is more like 35mm lens.) BobH
