I have only read that Fuji makes one but I can't find it in stock where I've looked for it.

Thanks.

so the Advantix has a panoramic mode? and is it also designed for one-time-use?

not really. it fakes one. what happens is it takes a normal image and crops the top and bottom. because its advantix its design so that you could put the top and bottom back on there in the lab if you want as well. the lens isn't any wider though.

Yes! These panoramic features are just a gimmick.

Then I'm just plain screwed. I will not a buy a REAL camera just to take a few panoramic shots on one vacation.
