As a guy who's gone for stitched panos in a reasonably big way, there are
some other limitations. They really only work for fairly static subjects -
if you want to capture a SWA image of an event, you'll get phantoms and
ghosts everywhere. There are times when I wish I had just one SWA fisheye
instead of having to drop 23 images into Hugin.
However, for mostly-static scenes, there's something really satisfying
about spinning the camera around, dropping a pile of jpg's or tiff's into
Hugin, and watching the magic happen.
