This is my first attempt at creating a Photosynth.  I learned a few things.  You need to create more photos from different angles.  Also varying the zoom creates interesting slideshows.  My camera is doing a pretty good job in terms of capturing at a good resolution.  I was surprised how close you can zoom in.  It's no DSLR, but for a point and shoot it did a decent job.

Since I don't have very may pics, you'll probably want to switch to the grid view.  Try the zoom.  I'm surprised how close you can zoom given how far back I was.  You'll be able to pick your friends out of the crowd.  I guess that is the advantage of the 10 megapixel sensor.
