In reply to Edward. It's sad because it does have a USB C so Ricoh COULD add it if they wanted.

No external microphone option is an absolute No-Go.

In reply to Mic Ty. So, this can NOT work if you have moving objects (waves, trees, flags) on the stitching line ! Because you have some seconds from the two shots !

Hello Mic, let’s say I would like to collect 360° hi res images of a very long trekking to later on upload on Google Street View, to create “blue lines”.
Can I set the Theta X on Interval Shooting, at the fastest available continuous frame rate (1 image every 6 seconds?), push “start” and then let it go without interruptions for hours and hours, say 8-10h in a row (with external power and large enough Micro SD card)?
Many thanks,
Giorgio

I’ve looked at that – very helpful – but nothing really ticks all the boxes for me: single shot, good detail, good dynamic range, good lens, reasonable noise, reasonable workflow. The Ricoh Z is perhaps the best but it is 3+ years old, still very expensive and used ones are unavailable.

Hi Evan. You may want to check out my comparison of Theta X and other 360 cameras here https://360rumors.com/best-360-camera-2022/
I’ll upload some Theta X samples (straight out of the camera, unedited).
Best regards,

Hi Mic,

thanks for all your work reviewing cameras, videos and gathering news.

I really want to like this camera because there is just not much on the market for enthusiast still shooters like me. To be honest, the samples in this article don’t look that good. Compression artifacts, poor detail, CA. Are they compressed for hosting? Do you know if there are straight out of camera samples available (I haven’t been able to find any).

I might just be expecting too much from these products but for the type of shots like, tight spaces with things happening basically, DSLR capture won’t work.

Thanks
