I love Canon, but I would like to try Nikon. I used Nikon in the past.

Take a look at the Canon T1 series or the Nikon D3100. Both of these will do the job for you. Good luck!

I am looking for a camera to take pictures of my child playing softball. What do you recommend?

Yes, I confess, it’s a self portrait. I needed several shots for a series on Lighting that I was working on and I reused it here.

Ryan,
This standalone app is superior. Both Photostitch and Panorama Maker (and apparently Hugin, which I’ve installed but haven’t played with yet) allow you much greater control over the whole process.

I’m curious about your thoughts on using a single utility program like this over the Photoshop features ‘Align’ and the built in macro utility ‘PhotoMerge.’ Do you think that the Photoshop results are inferior to the single utility program or maybe that the Canon software provides an alternative for a casual user who might not want to invest in a full-fledged copy of Photoshop?

I’ve used Canon Photostitch and Arcsoft Panorama Maker that Andrew mentions, and also Microsoft Image Composite Editor (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ice/), but the Gallery shots at the Hugin site (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/) are totally awesome, so I’m looking forward to trying it. Thanks for pointing us to it.

I could not agree with you more that lighting is the “magic ingredient”. Is that a self portrait? Very cool. -dz

…to align them properly when taking the images for a panorama photograph. I struggle with this quite a bit. As a result I have to crop a lot and loose information.
Well, I guess, I need to concentrate a bit more and take more time and do not rush taking the pictures.
