Good Value for the Price

I watched a lot of sample videos/images of 360/VR consumer products before buying this product and all most all of them left me underwhelmed. There currently is NO consumer-friendly (e.g. sub-$3000) 360 solution for video with acceptable results. However, for stills, the Theta SC is quite decent! The fact that you can produce 4000 x 4000 stills (which translates to a nice 13x13 inch print at 300 dpi) says a lot. Two minor quibbles... One is is that you have to rely on Ricoh's Theta360.com website to post/share (navigable 360 photos) online. (You CAN upload your horribly blocky Theta videos to YouTube though.) So if the Theta line ever tanks, Ricoh could very well pull down the site. There is a way around this though: For $100 you can purchase Garden Gnome's Pano2VR software, which will allow you to produce your 360 image for QTVR (Quicktime Virtual Reality) or better, HTML5. Second quibble: Theta can't be triggered via a Bluetooth remote. This would be a nice feature so that you don't have to appear holding your phone in the shot. (Bluetooth remotes are smaller and more tactile-easier to hide) All the same, I really like this camera for what it does!
