The Ricoh Z is perhaps the best but it is 3+ years old, still very expensive and used ones are unavailable. RICOH THETA X also supports an interchangeable battery and an external memory card for more efficient and reliable shooting in business settings. Does the smaller sensor in this new camera mean that there is another camera yet to drop from Ricoh?Plus, with TFT colour and auto-brightness adjustment, the touchscreen panel brings your 360º creations to life in whole a new way. Photos can be geotagged, which helps when you upload them to Google Street View or virtual tour software. Playback has been amended so that when shooting still images with [Playback Orientation] set to [AI Auto], playback starts with the main subject detected by AI on the playback screen.

On the other hand the sensors are half the size in this camera which makes it less capable in more difficult lighting conditions. For the THETA V and THETA Z1, this function is available only for videos recorded while “Stitching during shooting” is OFF. Remember that the Theta X images are straight out of the camera where as the Theta Z1 images required significant editing.I’ve been using the Z1 for a few years and can confirm that the larger sensors do make a difference.

With the addition of changeable battery and microsd they finally can be taken serious, adding GPS is a great bonus. I’ve looked at that – very helpful – but nothing really ticks all the boxes for me: single shot, good detail, good dynamic range, good lens, reasonable noise, reasonable workflow. Cue ‘Time Shift’ on the Theta X, which works when you put the camera on a tripod (there’s a 1/4-inch tripod thread on its underside) or on a flat surface and let it take two photos. See this video for a community tear-down and unofficial replacement of the DB-110 with Li-92B batteries with 1500mAh.

To answer the question, the Ricoh Theta X is a great camera for shooting virtual tours, however it is not necessarily a choice for those starting a virtual tour business. push “start” and then let it go without interruptions for hours and hours, say 8-10h in a row (with external power and large enough Micro SD card)? You can set the shooting interval (from 6 seconds to 60 minutes, in 1-second increments) and the number of shots (from 2 to 200 images, or [Not specified]) as desired.

Despite these tiny image foibles we were very impressed by the Theta X’s video and stills, but there is one problem throughout using it that’s hard to escape from – its 30 minute battery life. Ricoh has just announced the Ricoh Theta X, a 360 camera that can shoot photos at up to 11k (11008 x 5504) and is the first 360 camera that can shoot 5. 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.Select [Tool] → [Video conversion], and then select the [Blur correction] check box before starting the conversion process.
