I run an estate/letting agency and currently have a Panasonic FX75 with a 25mm wide lens, but keep seeing images with other agents that look much wider. How do they achieve it, i.e. what size lens could achieve that much of an extra wide angle?

Like this? - http://www.kingsturge.co.uk/residential/property/century-buildings_st-marys-parsonage_ks5365.htm

Or this - http://www.kingsturge.co.uk/residential/property/the-quays_salford-quays_ks7820.htm

They look almost stretched a bit. Any ideas?

10-20mm would be better (based on not looking at pics)

but 10mm is pretty wide but done think there are any point and shoot cameras that go that low.

No compact goes that low, not even seen a bridge camera that wide. Id hazard a guess and say they are using an SLR with a 10mm lens.

Yeh i thought it'd be an SLR, just wasnt sure of the lens size. Lowest i've seen on a compact is 25mm but might well consider a half decent digi SLR soonish

Most SLRs have an 18mm standard lens, give that a go and if your still not happy go wider.

18mm isn't really wide enough either, you'll probably be as much as the camera cost on top to get a wider lens though.
