Or the Alan Zinn panoramic camera ... or, the Spinshot by Corrales or
the Globuscope by the Globus brothers, ... or the Hulcherama by
Hulcher or the Cyclopan or the Alpa rotocamera ... or the Davidhazy
improvisations from the 60's (!) ;) ) or the Cirkut (EK Co.) camera
from the early 1900s!! etc.
On the electronic front there are several models being manufactured/
marketed. Spheron (sp>) is one ... the Better Light scanning back
device can be accessorized with a turntable and become a real high end
digital pano camera ... and there are several others ... Seitz also
makes one ... it is hard to believe they are all making money in this
market ...

Hmm, results look like a digital version of the film Panoptic
camera, or Larscan, as built by MIchael Dusariez. I still have one
built from an old Zeiss camera taking 120 roll film. I liked those
images. I may have to look into the digital versions.

not sure I mentioned this before but some time ago I was asked
about the prop blades effect and at the time I made s simulation of
what was going on using a flat bed scanner as the equivalent of the

you can read all about it here:

PTassembler and related sites ... impressive!!
My recent forays into panoramic photography are based on using a
camera intended for machine vision applications ... a monochrome
linear array camera ... and placing it atop a motorized rotating
tripod head. No article yet but photograph can be sees at:
