A favorite "compact" go to camera of mine is the Nikon P7000. Although it might not be the first camera to come to mind when thinking about shooting architectural exteriors but, with a bit of Rube Goldberg'ish forethought, a few inexpensive bits sourced from Craigslist and eBay you can capture pretty decent perspectives like our image above.
We've revised (and added a few newer, common panoramic lens types and film formats) our Field of View / Panoramic calculators.
Added Sigma 8mm f4 lens, Kinoptec 6mm (Arri Mnt), 30mm Distagon (med. format), 65 & 75mm Super Angulon lenses (lg format)
Added Nikon D200, D300, D3 & D3s sensors. Canon MK II, Fuji (pro) DSLR (All models), 6x6cm, 6x4.5cm & 4x5 view cameras.

Currently we're testing a few software tools/utilities for production use in developing panoramic imagery for our clients use online.
Pano2Vr is a stand-alone (windows/linux/osX) Panoramic Image Converter that converts .TIFF file equilateral, spherical and sinusoidal rendered images into quicktime (.mov), flash and html5 embedded imagery allowing immersive, 360degree panoramic "Virtual Tours" online.
Follow the jump to view both our initial Hugin Pano, stitched flat, equilateral image and the rendered quicktime presentation. CAUTION: Scrolling the tour fast -may- cause tummy discomfort (so says my 3year old..)
The archives are, for the most part, a collection of photography notes, observations and tests compiled from numerous sources (where I'm not the originating source, I'll attribute when possible) and organized here for in-studio reference..
Though not intentionally public, we've published most of these articles/code/snippets under GPL license, photography however, remains under copyright, all rights reserved.
