The new Ricoh Theta S is an elegantly designed spherical camera that is capable of capturing highly detailed spherical photos and videos. In fact, this gadget's crystal-clear 360-degree videos can now be recorded in Full HD 1920 X 1080 at 30 frames per second.
This Theta S does admittedly look quite similar to its well-known predecessor, but it features a number of handy refinements. For one, it is equipped with a faster F2 aperture lens which can capture a 360-degree view, while the large 12-megapixel CMOS sensors allow for an output of 14 megapixels. This allows the Theta S to capture more light and produce images and videos of a higher quality even in low light conditions.
With its slick portable design and high-tech features, the Ricoh Theta S is looking to take the lead in the world of spherical photography gadgetry.
