Since I'm unlikely to ever get any kind of Xpan camera, I thought it might be interesting to post some wide crops from two cheap digicams and a phone (Fuijfilm J20, JX500 and Nokia Lumia 520) taken over the last few years. The JX500 has a scratched lens but nice colours and I think it does OK.
Some of these I've posted before, some I haven't.

No reason for these to be so wide though
X-Pan is a format only fit for very specific use cases
Otherwise it just looks like you cropped for no particular reason

I stitched this from 3 photos. Otherwise, I usually don't go for the wide/XPAN ratios.

I should try 2:1 more often.

Continuing the theme of the Poor man's Xpan I taped the LCD screen of an old Pentax Optio LS1000 to give an Xpan-like view, then cropped later. The 27mm lens is sharp enough in the centre but gets very soft towards the edges.
