Quote: I presume its pictures are meant to be viewed on phones and tablets which have a resolution usually in the 2-3 megapixel range. A 3 MB JPEG could hold a fair amount of detail for that purpose.
Probably Ricoh counts two pictures per panorama.
Then this would result into about 6 MP for one result.
This goes in line with the 6.4 MP reported by
Engadget.
So, in fact, you have two "Megapixelcam"s in one device.
I just wanted to know how useful this could be.
Taking pictures and stitching to get spherical panoramas really is complex and annoying.
Maybe the output (at full resolution) is sufficient for a lot of web applications.
