What: Autopano (registered version @ 99 euro)
Verdict: totally awesome.
Pros:
- Very fast, reliable stitching of images together
- Excellent colour and exposure correction, even if you don’t lock your exposures
- Supports HDR imaging! Create panoramas out of raw format files and then use tone mapping software like Qtpfsgui
- Excellent barrel distortion compensation on wide angled shots
- Qt4! (and cross platform)
Cons:
- It’s not free software 
- Expensive
- User interface could use some work
Example:
Panorama created out of 8 individual raw images, then tone-mapped with Qtpfsgui. I can’t get a larger version because Qtpfsgui runs out of memory - the resultant panoramic raw image is over 130MB!

Interesting. How can it be compared to Hugin ?
Thanks for posting about that program!
It works perfectly. Never thought that such good results are possible especially concerning waves.
