About this deal

Those people who are interested in the more creative and artistic aspects of photography would likely prefer the Theta Z1, indeed it’s still a great product years after being released and does produce better looking images when edited in RAW mode. Now THETA X is equipped with a large touch screen directly on the unit, allowing users to operate THETA without using a smartphone, including setting up shooting and reviewing images. Also, the pairing experience has become much smoother. The DB-110 is the same battery in the RICOH THETA V. See this video for a community tear-down and unofficial replacement of the DB-110 with Li-92B batteries with 1500mAh. RICOH THETA X High Resolution is Great for Real Estate The images can sometimes appear slightly dull in terms of colours and they certainly don’t match up to images shot with the Theta Z1 using RAW mode. The Theta X can’t shoot RAW mode, however there’s no reason why this feature could not be added in the future. With the RICOH platform, patented AI technology creates a variety of contents to the highest quality. All you have to do is take a photo with the RICOH360 Tours app and you can focus on the important work.

Built-in GPS. Photos can be geotagged, which helps when you upload them to Google Street View or virtual tour software. While the RAW mode allows for better dynamic range and colours the Theta X does have a resolution nearly double that of the Theta Z1. The higher resolution allows you to zoom into the image without losing as much quality. The addition of both removable batteries and a microSD card slot to the Theta X remove limits to how long it can be used for; an issue which plagues the Z1 with it’s internal only memory and integrated battery. To be fair the Z1 has recently been upgraded to have 51GB internal memory, enough for a lot of photos and videos. Whether the Ricoh Theta X is going to appeal to you will depend on what kind of content creator you are. If you're looking at this 360° camera as an alternative to a GoPro action camera, then bear in mind that its image stabilization – despite working on higher resolutions than on a GoPro – just isn’t as good. Vloggers should also look at the Theta X with suspicion purely because you can’t use an external microphone with it.

You can’t edit or transfer the results to a smartphone via the app, which merely displays a thumbnail of 5.7K 30fps and 4K 60fps video. The only way to deal with it is to get it off the device by cabling it up to a laptop and editing it with Ricoh’s desktop software. That software is very basic, doing little more than letting you zoom in and out of 360º photos and straighten it. It’s a shame it can’t recrop 5.7K 30 fps footage into regular 16:9 content.

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).

There is a limit to the length of video that can be recorded per shooting. To record videos continuously, start shooting again when the video length reaches the limit. The number of photos and time are guides only. The actual number differs according to the photography conditions. While neither of the Theta cameras are particularly designed with shooting video in mind, there is a clear difference between them. The Theta Z1, even with the larger sensors, is unable to match the quality of its video with its photos. Limited to 4K, the resolution of the Z1 video is disappointing and there’s little in the way of stabilization or shooting modes. I wouldn’t recommend using this camera for any serious video work. It allows AI to automatically generate print-quality photographs from 360-degree images captured with RICOH360 Tours. I’m fairly confident that most people reading this comparison want to know the answer to this question. Theta Z1 became the most popular camera for shooting virtual tours over the past few years, so should you switch up to the Theta X?To next>" and "

This figure is a guide based on Ricoh measurement methods, and differs according to usage conditions. For a video shot while walking around the subject, you can view the subject from various directions like a frame-by-frame video. The “power saving priority” mode has been added as a default setting to reduce power consumption during wireless connection. To make the camera operate as before, select the “speed priority” mode in the new “wireless connection setting” function. Selecting the “power saving priority” mode makes the continuous operation time longer, and selecting the “speed priority” mode makes the image transfer speed faster. The camera must be restarted to change this setting. Great article! Regarding “Disappear from photos. Theta X has Time Shift, which lets you disappear from photos.
