Fantastic 360 camera!

Compact
Unique and Sharp 360 Photos
Simple to use
360 video not sharp enough

Already have many other cameras, the Theta gives me unique possibilities to take 360 photos. The Theta is very compact, about half the size of my smartphone. What immediately stands out are the 2 huge fisheye lenses on both sides, these are used to take the 360 degree photos. These lenses protrude slightly, making them vulnerable, luckily you get a nice cover included to protect the lenses. On the side are three buttons, on/off, WiFi and photo/video, on the front a button to take the photo or video. Taking pictures is very simple, put the camera in the air and shoot. You don't have to bother to aim, because the camera photographs everything (360 degrees) around you. I myself use a small tripod, otherwise your hand will come into the picture enormously. The Theta works together with an app, which works with a recent smartphone installed. The app works with WiFi so that the camera can be controlled remotely. In this app, many more options can be set, ISO, shutter speed, etc. I myself use the HDR rendering a lot in still situations and get very good 360 photos. The camera also gives a good result in a dark setting. You can view the photos in the app or share them with others via the Theta website. The memory is full after about 200 photos, but the battery lasts longer. In addition to photos, the Theta can also record video in 360. And this has a lot of potential for VR! There are more and more videos on youtube, it is very nice to watch them. What immediately stands out is the moderate sharpness of the videos. It's enough for a 5-inch smartphone, but not for your PC monitor. The sharpness is also disappointing for use in VR glasses. It's really cool to make your own VR video and share it with your friends. Perhaps an update can improve the sharpness of the video. Have had a lot of fun with the camera and I am convinced that I will use it a lot!

Beautiful 360° camera for an accessible price.

Small and solid
Excellent battery life
Good supporting apps
Lenses vulnerable

For me the first acquaintance with 360° photo and video. Taken straight away on winter sports where the camera also performed well under extreme conditions. The supplied case is rather tight, but it is necessary to protect the lenses. An absolute must is a selfie stick or tripod, because otherwise your hand will appear grotesque.
