Canon PhotoStitch 3.1 (bundled with the Canon Powershot G1 3.31MP camera)

It is important to note that the software does not come with an integral
image editor so any compensations/adjustments must be made before beginning
the stitching process.  However, I recall reading reviews of much better
stitching software available.  I can't recall the name but you should be
able to find it on www.dpreview.com.  Read the review on the Powershot G1
and somewhere near the end it talks about the bundled software.

The CD provided by Canon _did_ provide a copy of Photoshop LE to compensate
for the lack of an internal editor in the stitching software.
