The Epic 100 is Gigapan’s computerized panorama system: Just add your large point and shoot or small dSLR and the Gigapain Epic 100 can make incredibly detailed and complex panoramas. To capture incredible gigapixel images simply set the corners of the panorama you want to capture using the LCD interface. The built in software works out how many photos your camera will need to take, hundreds or even thousands. The EPIC 100 begins snapping the photos, automatically organizing them in overlapping rows and columns. You can capture complete 360 degree horizontal panoramas with up to 90 degrees of vertical shift.
