Ricoh Theta Spherical Camera For 360 Imaging

Ricoh Theta is the world's first fully spherical camera that lets you take 360-degree panorama photos in just ONE shot. That's 360 degrees of imaging all around you floor to ceiling, wall-to-wall, front to back.

Ricoh Theta new cam is small enough to fit in a pocket, or you can carry it in the bundled pouch that includes a belt loop. Theta includes two opposed hemispherical lenses, letting you capture a full 360-degree image in a single frame. The camera itself excludes a display or any manual settings at all, but given the super-wide angle you're shooting at here, there's not much framing to be done.

You can either capture images to the internal memory or to an iOS device connected via the ad-hoc WiFi network (Android support is coming later this year). If you're linked to a smartphone or tablet, you can use the device as a remote shutter release, which we'd definitely recommend -- with a lens on both sides, there's no way to hold the camera without several appendages ending up in each shot.
