My daughter asked me to look into point and shoot cameras for her use. She plans to use the camera to document features and equipment of ship an barge interiors as part of planning an overhaul or refurbishment project. Her price limit is about $400. Some situations will be quit confined and may require stitching to get a single image of a scene. I would appreciate any comments relative to the suitability for this camera, or any other, for this type of work. Thanks.

You will need a wide angle lens camera ie wider than 28mm...

Provided one realises that the interiors will be massively distorted with subjects thrown in to the far distance. 24mm will document what is there but make the size of the interior appear far larger than it actually is. Fine for estate agents selling the property but if accurate representation is needed not so good.

Better to stitch a pair of 50mm equivalent images using a prime lens on a tripod in a panorama if a representative view is needed as this is what your brain is doing.
