Here's some information on Panorama photos and stitching (merging) them together into one:

I am not objective because I own the Canon S2, but I just love it. I've owned seven digital cameras and am very impressed with the S2. Yes, think it would be a fine camera for your needs. It has a lot of advanced features, and there are auto and scene modes to use as you learn the features.

I have a blog about the S2 where you can read about the strong and weak points (which EVERY digital camera has!!!).

http://www.digicamhelp.com/canon-s2-blog/index.htm

If you want to spend less money on a similar camera the Canon S1 may still be available in stores. It is a bit slower, doesn't have an AutoFocus Assist Lamp and a few other features on it's big brother, the S2, but it is a good camera. Unlike the S2, itt has a 10X (not a 12X) zoom.

The macro mode is great. It also has an incredible super macro mode. What I like about it, and other cameras that gave this feature, is the tilt and twist LCD. You can move it and take shots from different angles and in difficult photo-taking situations.

It's not. Sorry, I really need to change those comments. It's only because I wasn't used to the size of a SD card...now I don't even think about it.

If you care to see some shots taken with the S2, here are some pix from my galleries:

Thanks. Let us know what camera you decide to get. Hope you enjoy your photojournalism course. Photography is a wonderful hobby. Sometimes I'm sorry I didn't go into it professionally.

"The only requirements are that the camera be digital and at least 5.0
megapixels. A good zoom lens will help. Anything else is up to you to enhance
your photos.

Welcome!"
That is what my teacher says, so basically i guess it's up to me to decide on the best camera?
