The large mirror, widefieldofview and very sensitive infrared detectors of ESO's 4.1-metre Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) make it by far the best tool for this job.
The wide-angle lens give allows expanded fieldofview needed for group shots, ensuring everyone is in frame even in a close-up shot whilst the powerful zoom makes it possible to capture detailed photos even when the subjects are of a distance.
It has a 4.8-inch display and can be used for 23 mm wide-angle photos which, according to Samsung, is a wider fieldofview than the unaided human eye can see without swiveling your head.
