Digicam Cinemascope?

[pizzamandk]

I am wondering if it isn't technically possible to put two lenses side-by-side in the same camera, thus filming in true 16x9 or even wider.... Or some program could stitch every frame together, just like all the pano-apps you see around. That would be amazing! Is there such a cam or is it just a crazy idea?

Thanks

You can get add-on lenses for 4:3 DV cameras that allow you to record true anamorphic 16:9, if you camera doesn't already support it. All HD cameras are natively 16:9, so it isn't an issue for new cameras.
