Hobart waterfront, panorama, NX200 etc
5

Here's a photo on my old NX200. Sometimes I take it out with the 30mm and use it like a large-sensor fixed lens compact.

I always forget the panorama mode, and I guess it can be a bit gimmicky, but it worked well here.

That's a nice shot, you should consider some HDR effects

I used to use built-in panorama mode, but since learning to stitch my own panoramas I would never use it again , for several reasons:

* you're limited to great light conditions as you're moving the camera all the time. Long exposure is out of question. If you take individual shots and stitch them later, you can take as long exposure as you wish (on a tripod).

* it only does horizontal or vertical line panoramas. I often like to take 9 (3x3) or 12 (4x3) shots, so I can get a 4x3 or 16x9 shot after stitching.

* it outputs low-res jpeg, with individual photos you can get raw and better resolution

* you can use different projections when stitching photos, some work better than others in a given situations

Yes, the panorama mode is limited, but it does enough for me. I don't have the time for all that stitching and editing.
