I am awaiting the delivery of my shiny new Nikon P5100. I am really debating between the NN5, Agnos MrotatorP, and that other one that I can remember what it's called right now but it supports the camera as well as the lens. The only thing I have left to do is buy a decent tripod.
If anyone specifically/personally has experience with the P5100+FC-E8+MrotatorP, P5100+FC-E8+NN3/5, or P5100+FC-E8+ that other rorator I'm talking about I would appreciate some details about how it handles if there seem to be any weak spots or anything that may be helpful in making my decision.
Thanks again guys I know your be helpful as ever.
Dane

Ok so I guess my last ? is with the lens adapters that connect the FC-E9/E8 to the P5100 are they screw on threaded or do they clamp/compress onto the camera?
That would ultimately be my deciding factor. I think I will go for the solution that actually securely screws onto the camera Vs. just clamping on.
TIA for your helpfulness.
PS..
I'm in the US and I'm trying to figure out how to buy from Agno's. I just would hate for there to be some exorbitant currancy exchance rate charge. Has anyone US based had experience buying from Agno's ?

Hey Guys thank you all so much for your advice.
I that I will most likely grab a p5100 and the FC-E8 with an adapter ring. I will post some stuff once I have time to "Take a Hike" and I have my flash viewer made.
mediavets I saw this post and amy curious. does the P5100 automatically take bracketed (HDR) shots? or did you have to manually adjust it to bracket? I have been reading up a bunch on the camera but can't find specific information about this feature.
again tanks guys

Thank you all for your advice;;
This is the third timeI'm writing this because my connection timed out twice already 
John you were spot on.
I just tryed PTGui and it did a bang up job on a 3shot pano. It took me a few hours to figure out how to make it generate control points with circular FE's but once I got that it was a piece of pie.
Andrew said: (I also have a D40 DSLR and the Nikkor 10.5mm FE but that's another story).
please elaborate. I was considering this exact setup although the cost was a bit steep I would do it just for the fact that I'd then have a DSLR. can this take a 3-4shot 360 ? I would definatly go for the p5100 if not because it is only like $299 but because it seems to have some pretty cool capabilites and it will be less cumbersome then a DSLR plus then I would only need to carry the body and the FE lens and a tripod+rotator.
I have come to the conclusion through all of my reading that I would be best off doing a 3-4shot because it seems to be easier to stitch that way.
I currently use a cheapo 5.1MP and use the stand+spin+shoot method and it takes me like 9shots to make a 360x60+- pano.
I go hiking in the nature preserves here in S.Florida and would love to capture a bunch of panos and geotag them. I just don't want it to become more work then fun. I mean when I go for hike I really don't like being distracted by my current method.
I'm also working on making a viewer in swish which is another challenge but it is coming along pretty nicely.
anyone got some more advice or other thoughts? on my hardware choices?

Spherical Panorama Fisheye Stitcher, SP-ST, v4.71
I'm looking at a bunch of options and I am really hooked on the idea of 3 shot panoramas using 180degree+ lenses. I am thinking of getting a coolpix I think 5700 and an
FC-E9 lens to go with it. I'm just not sure of what software package to go with. this is mostly just for my amusement so I'm really not into spending $1000 for easypano or etc.. I have an older version of PanoramaFactory and would get the latest one in a heartbeat if it supported extreme fisheye lenses. I am also looking at a nikon dslr camera body and the 10.5mm lens but I'd really rather not have to take more then a couple of shots to get the 360 effect as that would make it work and I'm already set with a good career.
Really I guess I would like to know if anyone has an extreme fisheye setup and wouldn't mind trying this software out for me so that I know if it is worth it for me to go the coolpix FC-E9 route or if I sould just get the more versatile dslr and the 10.5mm.
