"Most unique"? So the Theta S is more unique than the M15?

Lol.. That's for naysayers...

Seriously, why not.
Well done, Ricoh.

lytrytyr: The previous model Ricoh Theta m15 was launched in 2014 and thus doesn't contend in the camera of the year 2015 competition.

But the M15 is out there, so while the S may be a really special camera, it is by no means "unique."

It's not unique in abstracto, it's "the most unique". The others are even less unique than it is

Of course the problem with that is that it is meaningless since Unique is not a measured quantity it is a quality. It means one of a kind not out of the ordinary. Sadly that isn't how people think of it sometimes.

I would argue that it is unique within the qualified set of considered devices. The previous model wasn't part of that list - so it would not be competition.
