Great photo camera. A lot of controllable settings. Good quality. Video camera: Not so great. 1080p in VR looks like Standard Def. There are no manual settings. The stitch between lenses can be obvious (depending on lighting). No SD card slot, you have to import through USB. App is decent.

Theta S is very easy tu use, small, ergonomic 360 camera. You do not need to be a specialist, after you understand the basics you're able to shoot whatever you want. The app that u're using to edit the movies after are also easy to use, and then you can publish very easily on Facebook or Youtube. The bad thing is that the image quality is not so good. After you edit and upload it, the image is missing sharf, it's somehow a bit blurry and pixelate. Of course, I'm using it, my viewers are happy to see what I shoot in 360, but I know the image could be better. We'll wait the next generation, I hope this tech will improve.

The most difficult part of enjoying this product is accepting that it WORKS! In a snap it takes a complete 360 degree photo, or movie. Up, down, left, right, back and front. Amazing. The pictures are not as sharp as a nice camera, but they are very good. It is fun. Looking at pictures requires a little planning, i.e. through their app on your phone is easy, on Facebook, etc. But on a phone without their app the picture is not a virtual 360. I guess the biggest issue is the time required to upload pictures from the camera to your phone over wifi. It's not bad but it is a step and takes some time. Still worth it if you have a need or just love gadgets.

For anyone interested in this item, be sure to upgrade the firmware to the latest version and shoot in HDR mode. Only then can you make a fair judgement on the quality of images. I'm selling it as it doesn't compare to professional DSLR panoramas that are captured with multiple RAW image shots. Shooting a large tour with this unit is a cost effective way to fill many needs. It's an excellent gadget for the price and for what it does. It's not good for Street View, which is why I'm selling mine.

Nice camera that gets cool 360 stills, video and time lapse. But RICOH does not support anymore with updates. Takes a little time to learn how to use (with the THEAT app), and edit (in the THETA+ app). But once you figure it out, you get nice effects from this little camera.

Adjustable pole tilt feature is great since the support feet don't adjust. Easy to use and stable. Good tripod for 360 camera and can get camera up to eye level.

No, it's not the highest resolution photosphere camera out there, but it IS the easiest to use and produces images that are more than satisfactory for viewing on any tablet or smartphone and most laptops or desktops. I am primarily using it to produce virtual tours for real estate offerings. I have also found other interesting applications at public events, sailing on the Chesapeake bay, and many more. If you want something that is a great value and offers a whole new world of photography, you can't beat the Ricoh Theta S.

We got this to add to our social media posts for our band. The audio is really bad, do we always overdub. The video looks best on a phone or tablet. I'm sure this technology will improve in the future, but they've got some work to do.

I'M a realtor that was looking to do true virtual tours quickly. I'll be using this to replace my DSLR spherical rig. While the pictures are lower quality than the pro style setup I was using, I can get all the pictures done in 1/4 the time. I only have 2 minor complaints, 1 I would prefer a removable battery and storage options. 2 I would really like to have about double the resolution on still pictures.

The camera worked well until it's storage became full, after emptying it the camera still showed full on multiple computers. Apparently it's a known issue with their service department and the only fix is to get a replacement.
