Awesome!

 

I come from the era of stitching photos for Quicktime VR. Despite the limitations of the Ricoh Theta, this camera simplifies that process tremendously.

Simple and works!

Video is subpar and only 8gb onboard memory with no expansion

Quick VR solution

 

I purchased this camera after reading that is was compatible with YouTube's 360 video channel. The photo quality is spot on. Easy to upload to apps like Round.me for an immersive experience. The video quality is very good - not spectacular but very...

Super fun!

 

Love the 360 video. It is not great quality HD however in low light. I would love it in 4k. That way when youtube does their crop upon upload you won't be missing out.

Love it so far

It's a toy

 

If you get this, know that it is a toy. The video is worthless and the stills are potato quality. The 4-5 star reviews have to be sockpuppets reviews. I have been a photographer for over 3 decades and shooting panoramas for 16+ years. I could never...

Fun Camera

 

Very simple to use and the potential capability with 3rd party software is exciting. It's just fun.

Ricoh is a horrible company

 

Just got the camera after waiting 6 weeks! Take it out the very first time to video an attraction in Orlando and I fell.

Great Start to a New Revolution!

 

This camera is a lot of fun! Easy interface, strong casing, and had no problem connecting it to my phone. The pictures and videos came out very clear, though it's 1080p that's then stretched to be circular so that term is a bit deceptive (certainly...
