Virtual Tour with Canon G9

I'm pretty new to this but I want to be able to create virtual tours with a Canon G9. I was looking at one shot lenses but I think It would be better to use a fisheye to get better quality and 180' vertical. What are my options if I want to do this with my camera? I'd like to keep it to as few pictures as possible. Thank you.

None of the vr companies are making a kit for the Canon G9 these days.
iPIX used to sell their proprietary fisheye convertor lens with an adapter to fit several of the Canon G series cameras but since Minds Eye View bought up most of iPIX Corp's non-patent assets, they've had limited offerings. Currently they have kits for the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and P6000 using the iPIX fisheye convertors they bought in the iPIX Bankruptcy.
Several other newbies have asked about what lens to use with a G9 on this forum and I don't recall a definitive solution other than trial and error by buying something and testing it. But it might get a little expensive.
Unlike Nikon did for the Coolpix cameras, Canon never made a fisheye for the Powershots.
