I've never used it; it appears to be ok for quick circular  (not
spherical) panoramas. The advantage may be it's one-shot; the
disadvantage may be loss of zenith and nadir and possibly loss of
optical quality.

Most panoramas are taken with a fisheye or with a very wide angle lens,
using a VR panorama head. The D40 camera could be quite satisfactory -
the quality depends a lot more on the lens. The Nikon 10.5mm fisheye and
the Sigma 8mm lenses are quite popular.

An excellent source for reference to lenses, panorama heads and
software, plus tutorials is at:
