If only web images are required a small camera could be an advantage due to 
increased depth of field.  However, manual focusing could be problematic as 
well as difficulty with manual exposure.  But a super zoom as Willie has 
suggested should be avoided.  There are lots of compromises in the IQ of the 
superzoom that should be avoided. No hot shoe also means no place to mount a 
level.  Some cameras might have horizon sensing electronics but that won't help 
with forward/back tilt.  Stick with the DSLR which also offers the chance of 
wider than 24mm if that's required at some time.  However, wider with a digital 
can be done with pano software.  But a pano head would be required within the 
close confines of a room interior.
