    Product Description

    The Theta V is light weight 360 Degree spherical camera, it’s easy to use and compact enough to carry everywhere. Enhancements including a new image sensor and Processor for improved image quality Allow the camera to produce more realistic “as-if-you-were-there” 360-degree content. The camera’s new high-speed data transfer is 2. 5 times faster than previous Theta models, allowing users to quickly and wirelessly upload 14 Megapixel stills and high-resolution 4K videos for immediate showing and sharing. Omnidirectional audio recording functionality enables 360-degree audio that is a strong complement to the high resolution video, dramatically enhancing the realism of a scene. The Theta V can connect to and be controlled by any Android or iOS-based smartphone or tablet using the Theta S app. Connection is either via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-which enables an “always-on” connection between a camera and phone-or Wi-Fi, providing users with greater flexibility in how they wirelessly control the camera. A new and unique feature of the Theta V is that Ricoh will be able to create new functions for the camera via software plug-ins. The first of these plug-ins was developed by Ricoh and is already integrated into the phone. It enables the Theta V to deliver the world’s first remote playback capability in a commercially-marketed, fully spherical camera. The camera has a 4-channel microphone that supports 360 Degree spatial audio recording built into its body. Omnidirectional audio is recorded not just in the horizontal direction, but also in the vertical direction, making it possible to reproduce sound and video as it was in the environment where the video was shot by linking 360 Degree video and audio together. Furthermore, using the dedicated accessory 3D microphone TA-1 (optional) scheduled for launch With the camera will allow users to pick up natural sound with a large volume of information at low to high frequency. Wireless communication protocol (WLAN)- HTTP (Open Spherical Camera API compatible). Battery Life - Still image - Approx. 300 images, Video - 80 minutes.

    Unacceptable stitching artifacts, significantly higher compression for stills.

    Unacceptable stitching artifacts, significantly higher compression for stills.
    I was rather excited to get this one as I liked Theta S, and was hoping that Theta V would be continuing the legacy of the previous model, but with better optics and processing hardware.So I ordered as soon as it was available on Amazon.Right away I was disappointed by stitching artifacts—double images at the borders between the images produced by either lens. These were absent in the images produced by previous, less expensive model—Theta S. Quite frankly, the fact that there were no stitching artifacts on Theta S was comforting. It was nice knowing that a usable image is possible out of camera right away. This is not the case with Theta V.Further analysis revealed that Theta V has a worse compression—simply looking at the images revealed that there si a visible macroblocking, especially visible at the edges of objects, making any improvement of the optics almost pointless.One of the reasons behind worse JPEG compression is smaller file size.Original from Theta S is 3.7MB while the Original from new Theta V is 1.1MB. Theta V has the same number of pixels, same JPEG encoding schema, but allocates only about 31% of the file size to the same image content. A pessimist in me thinks—is this what Ricoh doing to advertize improved transfer speeds per image?PROS: shaper optics, UHD for Video; possibly better color accuracy; better purple fringe control.CONS: stitching artifacts resulting in doubled image at any cross over edge between field of view of two lenses;significant quality loss due to smaller file size and therefore higher compression ratio(Images provided for reference are from Theta V (pinkish or orangeish hue) and from Theta S (cyan or greenish hue).

    Je l'ai achetée pour faire des montages photos immobiliers pour mon métier, j'ai eu du mal à la raccorder à mon téléphone et à mon ordinateur, pas facile du tout. Mais point de vue qualité et utilisation, elle est excellente, facile à utiliser avec retardateur 5 ou 10 secondes, qualité parfaite de l'image... Elle impressionne mes clients! Pour un professionnel c'est un avantage qui fait toute la différence. Elle se porte de partout, je la glisse dans l'attaché-case, elle est légère et une fois qu'on connaît le mode d'emploi, on l'utilise "les yeux fermés".
