A sleek and competent 360 degree camera, the Ricoh Theta V is aimed more towards casual use than rugged use. The camera itself is rectangular in shape and is small enough to comfortably fit in your jeans pocket. It can record videos in 4k resolution and capture 14 MP images.
One of the main strengths of Ricoh Theta V is its intuitive and user-friendly design. Most 360 degree cameras come in a square form factor which can be bulky to handle. As mentioned earlier, this camera has a slim body which makes it portable and easy to handle. The operations of the camera can be performed using its few buttons. This avoids any unnecessary complications and results in a hassle free experience.
Another aspect that makes the Ricoh Theta V standout from the crowd is its superior audio quality. This is made possible by the fact that it comes with two microphones on its top and one microphone on each of its side. This means not only the viewing experience is 360 degree but you also benefit from the spatial sound which makes the viewing experience even more immersive.
Ricoh Theta V offers various improvements over older cameras, including its predecessor (Theta S). Its performance is improved due to a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. To put things in perspective, the Ricoh Theta V image processing speed is around 10 times faster than that of Theta S. The video quality is visually pleasing and captures good quality images in low-light conditions.
