Hi All, 

I am new at Qgis and I enjoyed and find it usefuşş for most parts. I am
currently using map info for some buffer analysis and had some problems
about trying to do same analysis in qgis. 

I am trying to put a ring buffer for 100m. I converted 100m into degrees
since my default projection in qgis is wgs84 epsg:4326. I putted a point got
a ring in qgis.

I tried to do the same in mapinfo. created the ring for same point. 
Ring created in mapinfo

problem starts here: when I open the buffer file that I created qgis in
mapinfo the ring in qgis distorted along vertical direction, and when I open
the buffer file that I created in mapinfo in qgis the ring in mapinfo
distorted along horizontal direction.

I am pretty sure that all referrence systems both in mapinfo and qgis is set
to wgs84 epsg:4326. 

How can I solve this?
