Thanks Adrian. I will make a low light comparison next time.

I use Pannellum.js for a virtual tour on a website. It’s a great package, but it would definitely have benefited from having at least compass information. It was somewhat painful to try to orient each picture to the same direction. If you don’t do that, then when you jump into a new place it can look like you are looking in a completely different direction than you should be. I used a Nikon Keymission camera. I wish I had something nicer, like the Panono though. Nothing can compare to the quality of that, other than, I guess, using a DSLR.

Thanks Marke. There are many virtual tour software that don’t require GPS. Anyway, of these options, mi sphere and theta V have GPS if you shoot with their respective app. Fusion also has GPS. Insta360 ONE doesn’t.

most decent tour software benefits from GPS coordinates being in the exif information.

MANY of the cameras and some of the software options, lack this feature.

If I’m making a tour, I’d damn well want to know if the combination of hardware and software includes it-
or my workflow is going to be blown to hell.

Thanks, might look into the Theta S again because bracketing with the Mijia is a bit of a pain since you generally need -3 to see the “content” of windows in a darker room but then +3 is of no use so you have to do it manually. Not to mention the actual merging in Photomatix or such…It’s too bad the Thetas don’t have a 50 ISO setting.

Thank you very much my friend!

Hi Bill. Yes they would. But you can do a manual HDR as well on the other cameras, particularly because virtual tours are typically controlled situations. Built-in HDR is therefore more of a matter of convenience, which is why Theta V rates the highest for usability.
