Description

" 1. High-quality, 360 degree still images are captured with a large sensor and a unique lens -Equipped with a 1.0-inch back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which is the largest 360 degree consumer camera. This camera uses two sensors, each with 20MP (approx.) to capture high-definition 360 degree 23MP (approx.) still images. In addition, it supports high-sensitivity shooting up to ISO 6400, which is an advantage for shooting at night or in a dimly lit room. Ricoh's original three-fold structure technology is used for the lens unit to achieve a body that’s only 24 mm thin, whilst increasing the size of the image sensor. -Equipped with a multi-stage aperture mechanism, the F value can be selected from either F2.1, F3.5 or F5.6. In brightly lit areas, narrowing down the aperture will improve the resolution of the surrounding area. Furthermore, the newly designed lens unit effectively suppresses ghosting, flares, and purple fringing that can affect the image. 2. High- performance image processing with the latest algorithm and various shooting modes -The latest image processing algorithm provides low-noise, high- resolution images throughout the sensitivity range. In addition, DR (Dynamic Range) correction is automatically adjusted during shooting to effectively suppress overexposure, even outdoors where there can be a huge variance between brightly lit areas and shadow. In addition, this model is equipped with various shooting modes such as ""HDR composition"" and ""interval composition"" allowing for star trails to be captured, as well as ""multi- bracket shooting"" that shoots continuously with up to 19 settings. 3. High- quality (4K equivalent) 360 degree movies using the latest image stabilization technology -When shooting movies, the 3-axis rotation correction provides high image stabilization performance. It is possible to shoot high-definition, smooth 360 degree movies at 30 fps (frames/second) at 3840 x 1920 pixels, which is equivalent to 4K. In addition, Av (Aperture Priority), Tv (Shutter Priority), ISO (ISO Sensitivity Priority Auto Exposure), and M (Manual) can be selected as the exposure settings, enabling movie shooting with more detailed settings. -The camera body has a built-in 4ch microphone that supports 360 degree spatial audio recording, and by recording audio in all directions including not only the horizontal direction but also the vertical direction, the sound and image as it is in the shooting environment. It is possible to reproduce. You can enjoy creating VR video content with a sense of realism and watching videos on a large monitor more realistically. 4. Easy-to-understand UI (user interface) -Equipped with a 0.93-inch organic EL (OLED) panel that displays shooting information at the bottom of the camera. This allows you to directly check shooting information such as battery level, shooting mode, remaining number of shots, F value and ISO sensitivity value at a glance. -The Fn (function) button at the bottom of the side of the camera switches the display between ""normal shooting"" and ""self-timer"", 3 types of plug-ins, and switches to off/mute mode. -You can save the shooting modes from your smartphone as ""My Settings"" in the camera body (one for images and one for video). 5. Supports RAW file format to improve editing control -In addition to JPEG format, it is possible to save in RAW (Adobe DNG format) JPEG format. As a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic, we provide the stitching app “RICOH THETA Stitcher” free of charge. After developing a file recorded in RAW, you can generate a spherical image with no visible seams with a plug-in. You can freely change the details of zenith correction, orientation correction, and distance specification during stitching. You can enjoy full- scale editing of color and image quality like an DSLR camera. 6. Various sharing methods -The 360 degree spherical image taken can be posted directly to Facebook or LINE, or uploaded to the dedicated website -and shared on social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. can do. You can also post spherical images on YouTube's 360 degree channel and Google Maps . -Equipped with a 360 degree video ""remote playback function"" as a plug-in. By using a general-purpose receiving device such as a compatible wireless display adapter to transfer and mirror the 360 degree still image and video data recorded in the camera, you can create a powerful 360 degree image on a large display or projector. You can project it and operate it on the camera body to enjoy it. 7. Robust and luxurious design -The body material is a lightweight and highly robust magnesium alloy. While ensuring rigidity that can withstand harsh use, the surface is textured to give it a luxurious texture suitable for the top end models. -A metal tripod screw hole is used for use in harsher environments. In addition, the connector for external connection uses the next-generation standard USB 3.0 (Type-C), achieving a more efficient transfer speed. Since the shape is vertically symmetrical, it can be inserted in either direction. 8. Excellent extensibility with updates and plug-ins -Adopts ""Qualcomm Snapdragon TM"" and Android-based operating system for the main unit. It is possible to continuously expand functions and improve performance by updating the firmware. -You can use various extended functions by installing various plug-ins. In addition to Ricoh's genuine plug- ins, we are also building an environment where plug-ins released by general developers can be added and used through the ""RICOH THETA Plug-in Partner Program."" -Use of some plug-ins that operate in client mode-Development of plug-ins 9. Others -The capacity of the built-in memory has been greatly increased, and about 6350 still images (JPEG) can be taken. -The fastest shutter speed of 1/25000 seconds is possible. - You can edit still images and export data for printing with the THETA app. -Dual communication with Bluetooth & wireless LAN -You can easily connect wirelessly with a dedicated app for smartphones.

  • Easily the best 360 camera even after all these years
Style: Camera only
My review is purely based on still photos. Between the Theta X and Insta360 one-rs 1 inch, the z1 still wipes the floor when it comes to image quality. There’s no comparison. The insta360 1 inch is so bad I only use it in homes with EXCEPTIONALLY good light or when my z1 is dead. The Theta X is so bad in low light I returned it although it was close to the insta360 1 inch in image quality. Don’t let their own marketing devalue this device. If all you care about is image quality regardless of the other features, then stop with the z1. This is my 3rd z1. I use them for my real estate media business. One I broke trying to replace the battery myself and the 2nd was dropped. There are two negatives but not enough to knock it from the top of my tier list. 1). Battery life sucks even when brand new. I get an hour at most before needing to recharge it. It’s also not user replaceable. 2) Give it a flipping touchscreen already. It’s been 6 years! Just update these two items and it won’t be touchable at all. The only area it falls short is video features (doesn’t matter for my use case), battery (non replaceable and short lasting) and a touch interface. ... show more

  • Much better image results
Style: Camera only
Wow! I do real estate 3D tours in Matterport and Zillow. I had been using the Insta 360 X3 for awhile but noticed bad image quality, short distance between scans and blown out windows. The scans also took a long time per "click" while capturing. My first test with the Theta Z1 and the skies are blue, not blown out, the distance I am able to place my monopod is much further without an error. ( I had to place every 3 feet w the Insta!) I am at least 6 feet now and the scans are a bit faster per click. Also, the white balance is much more realistic! I feel great about this purchase. ... show more

  • Gerat Improvement over other models.
Style: Camera only
I've had several model of the Ricoh Theta. Compared to the Theta V the picture quality is much better, especially in lower lighting. The Wifi connectivity is also much better than past models. It holds a connection much further away with more objects blocking the way too. I mainly use it for images of new construction rough-ins and finish homes. So far its been a huge improvement over the lower end models and I think its worth the extra cost. ... show more

Best camera on the market for the money. Love that it’s compact. It connects easily to my phone. I use it for virtual tours and make a lot of money off this little thing.

  • Great camera

Very nice camera, only negative is that the battery life runs down pretty fast. Very good quality photos for 360 photos and fairly easy to operate. Will buy another for sure.

  • Overpriced Garbage - DO NOT BUY
Style: Camera only
Plenty of other 360 cameras are half the price, do the same thing, and have better build quality. This camera looks and feels cheap, the app that controls it is terrible, battery life was literally going down 1% every few minutes just by trying to get it to connect to the app, which it wouldn't do. I could connect via the wifi settings menu on my phone no problem, but when you go to the app it makes you reconnect it and says it can't find the wifi, even though I was just on it. I followed every troubleshooting step, including updating firmware, and nothing worked. This camera is garbage and the engineers at Ricoh that build it should be ashamed of themselves. DO NOT BUY Also...it takes over a month to get your money back when you return it. What a joke... ... show more

  • Good - but not quite perfect.
Style: Camera only
I am a real estate photographer and needed a new 360 camera for 3D walkthroughs of people's properties. The Theta Z1 came highly recommended and it's that way for a reason. The image quality and HDR from this camera is stellar. Not quite Matterport quality, but also for only a fraction of a Matterport price. Plus, if one was so inclined, the Z1 should work for most Matterport tours, minus a few small items like the dollhouse view, etc. Otherwise, it works beautifully for standard home 3D tours. It is delicate, so I would highly recommend the soft rubber cover that you can buy for one of these. They also have a cover for the lenses, which is extremely helpful, as damaging the lenses are something you want to avoid in order to get consistently good tours/images captured by the device. ... show more

  • Solid camera.
Style: Camera only
I like the feel of the camera, good weight and body structure. I can feel its a quality build. Comes with a protective cover and charging cable (USB-C Type). I loaded all the software and apps and was publishing within an hour. The image quality is great and you can do minor tweeks if need be. The APP lets you do minor adjustments which comes in handy. I'm a first time user and can recommend this camera. I do real estate photography and it does what I want it to do. ... show more
