Product Information

Another useful feature unique to the Z1 is a variable aperture which gives the camera greater ability to shoot in low light conditions, even at night with very little light. 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. The Theta X can’t shoot RAW mode, however there’s no reason why this feature could not be added in the future. Long range wireless with client mode. Normally, the wireless range of a 360 camera is at most about 30 feet. With Theta X, however, the wireless range can be as wide as that of your home or office network. The Theta X has a “client mode” that enables it to connect to your home or office wireless network. As long as your phone is connected to the same network, you’ll be able to control the Theta X. Shoot incredibly realistic spherical images and videos using video shooting with improved image stabilization at up to 5.7K, 30fps video. The control of top/bottom correction has been changed so that the front of the image does not switch frequently when shooting videos with THETA upside down.

Web API The Ricoh Theta X also has some impressive looking specs that make it a great option for 360 photos. The obvious difference is the boost in resolution up to 60MP, this makes the image shot with the Theta X very sharp and detailed, more-so than the Z1. Ricoh Theta X (reviewed here) is the first 360 camera to offer 5.7K video with stabilization with no stitching required. It also captures 11K photos, one of the highest resolutions available for consumer 360 cameras.The Theta X offers some video upgrades including a boost in resolution up to 5.7K; this brings it in line with other sub 1K 360 camera like the GoPro Max and Insta360 One X2. There are more expensive professional cameras such as the Insta360 Pro 2 which can shoot 8K footage, more suitable for professional VR work.

Theta X has Time Shift, which lets you disappear from photos. Just take a shot, move to the other side and it takes a second shot with you erased from the final photo. Both of these cameras are primarily designed for photography. This is unique among consumer 360 cameras, most of which are heavily focussed on video. Great quality 360 photos should be high resolution to maintain sharpness and details, avoid over exposure in bright areas and have great dynamic range.

Ricoh Theta X Review: Summary The number of photos that can be taken is a guide based on RICOH’s measurement method. The actual number differs according to usage conditions. Ricoh have never designed their Theta cameras with video in mind. Unlike GoPro and Insta360, who focus on creating 360 action cameras, Ricoh is more focused on photography. The last few versions of their cameras were limited to 4K video resolution which is outdated compared to modern 360 cameras.
