I always liked this kind of camera. I used to have a WIdelux and had issues with it not panning smoothly resulting in vertical banding. I had to have mine repaired so check this before buying one. I have a Horizon 202 which works very well but isn't an incredibly sharp lens. There are unusual results when shooting towards the sun or other lights as the lens flare will be dramatically cut off at a point when the lens moves.

 

Stitching and sweep panorama features in digital cameras have taken over most of what these can do. I've always wondered why these companies did not make digital versions since it should be pretty easy to insert a simple 1 line scanning sensor. Perhaps none are sensitive enough to provide enough speed. (That why Sietz says their digital pano cameras are so unique and expensive.)
