Newbie here ...

Hi, have just discovered KRPano which looks awesome. I have a good amount of experience of shooting 360 spherical panos and have recently been using Flash Panorama Player for display. I am really interested in the multiresolution possibilities afforded by KRPano. Can anyone tell me what sort of camera equipment is required to get really good detail at close zoom? I am currently shooting 8 shot panos (5 horizontal, 1 up, 2 down) using a 10 MegaPixel Nikon D40x with a Nikkor 10.5mm lens.

And can someone give me a brief overview of the technique for multiresolution panos? Am I right in thinking you need only create 1 equirectangular pano at max resolution, and then you use KRPanotools to make the various lower resolution versions?


Many thanks in advance for any pointers.

Cheers

( Nikkor 10.5mm, I want one *rolleyes* ...)
As it seems you take more importance to the lense quality than the camera body (I supose it is a price/quality compromise), why not to suggest one of this lenses:
AF-S VR NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED the best but $$$$...
AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II perhaps a good compromise because it will be more versatile than the first one...
or a more economic all in one as the:
AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II new.

All depend of your needs and money *sad* .

Yes, max resolution equirectangular then make multiresolution panoramas with kmakemultires and display with Krpano *smile*

Hope to see your multiresolutionpanos soon ;-)

Salut.
