And that didn't happen, as the mongrels released a mutated mini D500 instead.
Guess it will do the job just as good, or better. 😉
Dynamic range is just unbelievable.
They just killed the D7x00 lineup with this camera, I hope it's for the best, as the old D7x00 was a very popular and liked camera.
Only time will tell....
Nice one! Crisp and clear!

Thank you @LucioV, I just hate that you can't see the distance in picture, it's a 500m drop to the village below.
On the + side for FX, distance is more visible in a sphere. Or did I confuse everybody now?
And @MarkusKiili I forgot to mention that FX will have a shorter focus, actually quite a lot. This is why I use a DX camera.
I started with FX, but pretty fast turned back to DX.
Guess you can pick up a second hand D5300/D7x00 for less then nothing nowadays.
On the + side, you will have 72MP spheres.
In your line of work, I guess every pixel count, and if they are sharp, even better.
Just a suggestion.

@MarkusKiili here is a nature photo with the 8mm.
As you might understand, the pixels becomes quite large pretty fast with a 8mm lens, but it keeps image below 50MP.
Focus is a bit fuzzy because of this, it's how google maps work.
If you want to go beyond 100-500MP per photo, I guess Kolor Panotour is your option.
I use it for pictures up to 1GP, takes forever to load, but when it's loaded, it gives a wow effect.

Thanks for help @PatricL & @LucioV
I bought Samyang 12mm f/2,8 for FF camera and Autopanogiga. I got on very same day also Ricoh Theta S from Google for a month. Already I know, that I will not buy that for myself.
Here is one of the first photos with Samyang https://www.google.fi/maps/contrib/100137527032790901866/photos/@67.5801998,24.2057331,3a,75y,27.37h....

Wow! Stunning result! I wonder what you will be able to do as soon as you start to know this lens better! 🙂

Simply stunning......
Thank you for even mention my name. 😉
The Theta S is a tricky one, once you get control of it, you can't let go.
Hey, wait a minute, what's going on here?
10422 × 5000
What an odd resolution for a sphere?
