G'Mornin' Philippe!
I first (and last) tried this technique, just for fun, back in 2011, with this
shot of Mt. Robson. Taken with a 200/4 Micro-Nikkor on an Olympus E3, via an
adapter. Sixteen, 10mp shots, 4x4 (on tripod, naturally) and stitched in my
favourite, free pano-maker, HugIn.

Unfortunately, HugIn stitches to a TIFF file... and it is HUGE, at 96.2MB, so I
hope you'll forgive me if I don't post the original!
For pixel peepers, a screenshot of the left-ish center is here:

When I first showed it, in much larger size, Sonny spotted an area where the
stitching had not gone well (I'd not noticed it), but a re-do in HugIn solved
the problem. A three minute fix!
For me, it was simply a fun experiment. But, you are right. For serious
landscape photographers, it's a way to get a 100mp shot, with a 10mp camera.
Thanks for sharing your idea!
David.
Probably worth a try if you are into landscape photography.------
Based on a dozen APS-C shots covering a square or so, below is a
screenshot of a compound stitched using the pano feature of LR CCC.

Nothing spectacular I must admit, but fairly interesting if you look at
the following two crops (also screenshots btw) from the file above:
- The foliage in the bottom right corner (hazelnuts bushes in fact)

- And the distant hills in the lower middle of the same.

All three should be viewed embiggened to realize the potential of the
technique I think.
Hope this helps some of you.

Travel light Philippe, trying to explore and refine techniques for a
trip to Yosemite ;-)
