I must say I was very shocked & disapointed to find that the new ipad mini did not have the panorama option available on it's camera. I think that feature, new to ios6, is really cool. Panorama works on iphone 4S and the new itouch ipods but not on the new ipads. WHY?
iPad, iOS 6.0.1
As far as I know Apple haven't given a reason, but it might be because they thought that it would be difficult to hold steady whilst taking a panoramic picture. If it's something that you'd like then you could try leaving feedback for Apple via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
There are several Apps available in the App Store which will do panoramic photos on the iPad or iPad mini. For example see the Panorama app.
Another App which I have enjoyed is Photosynth.
And it's free.
It also allows complete 360º panoramas and can merge vertical images as well.
I realise there may be apps available for download but why? When it is integraded into IOS6, King_penguin's idea about not being able to hold steady is a thought...but I think it would likely be easier to hold steady because of it's size. Don't mean to have sour apples here but iDon'tunderstand.
No one here is going to know why Apple does or does not do something. It's only users here.
Yes, JimHdk you are right of course. Just don't know of any other way to get it out there. I guess I'm hoping the apple folks check out what we users are thinking about their products.

Why are you so shocked? They want you to buy an iPhone for that.
A) not free B) no you can't
That was to ivan54. It cost me 99 cent and will not do panoramic photos
Apple does what they do, and none of us here know why. A person could guess that, given their size, it was seen as the touches and phones serving more time as a camera due to their size while that same size issue would proclude iPads from serving as cameras.
Can't say that reality plays out that way. I've been in national parks and disneyland and saw plenty of iPads being used as cameras. (Including one brave soul standing in the middle of a stream taking a photo or video with their iPad)
Using that feedback link is the best way to contact Apple. They don't play here. The most Apple officially does here is police for posts that break the rules and banning the occasional spammer. If you want your comments logged, send in feedback. Those are read and logged.
wtb300,
Are we talking about the same App?

Although I don't have an iPad mini, I tested on my iPad with Retina display and it worked fine, and I have done multiple Panoramas with it on my iPhone.
Yes I have a iPad mini and I was very Surprise that there was no Panorama on the iPad mini. I use it every were and talk too work and on Holiday. So why no Panorama Feature ? That a good Question ?

No, it's not a good question. It's a completely pointless question here as no one can answer it. Apple has never said why they didn't include that feature. Therefore, no one here knows. Next time, do your research and you won't be surprised.
Best of luck.
Actually the reason that the panorama feature isn't included is because the camera has only 5 megapixels and can't support it.
why no panorama on the ipad mini?
