Ricoh Theta S and WG-M2 Hands-On Demo

Innovative gadgets with multitides of unique applications

The Ricoh Theta family of spherical cameras is leading the way in 360-degree imaging.  At the push of a button, the Theta captures everything around you.  The resulting images or videos are viewable interactively and can even be shared online.  Below is a demonstration of the latest model, the Ricoh Theta S, which features twice the resolution of earlier models:

We are currently the process of reviewing a production model of the Theta S.  Our initial impressions are positive; beyond its improved image quality, the Theta S is also much easier to hold thanks to a marginally larger body and a rubber-like exterior lining that prevents the camera from slipping out of your grasp.

Also on display at CP+ was the Ricoh WG-M2, the latest WG-series outdoor action camera.  The WG-M2 is the first Pentax or Ricoh product to feature 4K video support.

Other highlights of the WG-M2 include a lightweight design, reduced form factor, and 204-degree field of view.  A number of optional mounting accessories allow you to secure the WG-M2 wherever your adventures may take you.
