panorama vs wide angle.

a pano can be made by cropping the top and bottom from a wide angle shot. but I prefer stitching shots or Sony's sweep pano. Sony makes it so easy.

And LightRoom also makes it easy -- you just have to give it a few (or more) minutes to do its magic.

More pixels in a stitched pano gives nicer detail as well.

I'm getting back into photography after a long hiatus. I had a strong interest in the panoramic format years ago with my Hasselblad XPan; I just plunged into digital photography after satisfying myself that I could get results on a par with the XPan. Yes, a pano can be made by cropping a wide-angle shot, and that is what I have been doing. I contend that this is a great way to go: much easier and more direct, and allows you to see the framing of your shot. I use a homemade mask that I slip onto my Nikon D7500's "live view" screen--works fine. Yes, stitching several images together gives better resolution, but I find the resolution I'm getting to be just fine for prints up to 20-plus inches (not sure it will come through in the attachment). The Sony sweep pano looks easy to use, but unless I'm mistaken, you can't previsualize the framing or see the entire image in the camera afterward. With modern digital technology, why bother with panning and stitching unless you are covering a big wall or going extremely wide-angle?
