I don't have experience with panoramic cameras but I can tell you from personal experience and some market research that there is good market for panoramic photos. See this office building lobby mural (4' x 12')which is an enlarged single photograph of a reflection in the windows of ABC studios in New York City.You can ignore the guy (me) in the picture...

Just bought a pocket-size Sony Cybershot with the panning feature to experiment with going beyond my Nikkor wide angle lenses and photoshop stitching. I would be happy to join a forum on panoramic shooting and printing.

Do not lose a good picture because of the distortion at the edges of wide angle images. Photoshop has a perspective correction feature that will correct the distortion and make it appear that you were shooting straight on at a higher elevation. I've saved a lot of good images this way.

Gentlemen:
Due to the differences between monitors and printers (discussed in this forum at length)it is extremely difficult to judge and critique images sent over the internet and viewed on a computer screen. So much depends on the intended use of the image; for ultimate printing or only electronic use.
If you want to see what your work looks like as a print to hang on the wall,go in a scrapbook, or to send to someone, you might consider the simple solution I have found effective: I work on the computer, use graphic software if necessary, and make small prints (on my Epson R2400)without calibration adjustments until the print pleases me.I then take that print,with a disk on which I have downloaded the digital image, to a photolab and ask them to match the print. They then adjust their own monitors and printers to achieve a very professional result. I've done this with several labs, none of which have charged me any extra fees and the results have been very good.
If you only use the electronic digital images and never print you have a real problem. The professionals I know all use special calibration hardware and software and calibrate every day!
