 Panoramic Cameras
 =================
 
-Cycles supports three types of panoramic cameras; Equirectangular, Fisheye, and Mirror Ball.
+Cycles supports several types of panoramic cameras which are described in detail below.
 Note that these cannot be displayed in non-rendered modes in the viewport,
 i.e. *Solid* mode; they will only work for the final render.

+Equiangular Cubemap Face
+------------------------
+
+Improves on *Equirectangular* by providing a more uniform distribution of rendered pixel of the spherical environment.
+This results in an image that has little variation in visual resolution for the entire spherical projection.
+This is in contrast to *Equirectangular* which can lose detail in the poles of the image.
+This is also in contrast to cube map projections which lose detail near the edges of each face.
+
+This panorama type is great for virtual reality use cases
+where providing as much visual detail for a limited resolution is important.
+
+A limitation over *Equirectangular* is that this method does not have longitude or latitude limits.
