The only problem with these is that because they are panoramic they can't put the camera in the best position. For example, all the famous pictures of Macchu Picchu are taken from behind that little hut you see about 50 feet above where the camera is. The problem is that with a panorama, if you put the camera there then half the picture would be the back of the hut. Because of this you don't get as good of a view of the actual ruins. Similarly, all the famous pictures of the Petra treasury are taken from the opposing cliff, which again wouldn't work for the same reason. So although you get to see more of the surrounding environment, you get a less good view of the actual thing of interest. Still great pics though.
