How did they fit a 1” sensor into that? Wow!!!!

**monochrome** · 02-27-2019, 05:49 AM

There are two 1” sensors back to back, perpendicular to the lenses (oriented the same way as the body shape). They turn the light using (I think) 7 prisms. Each.

23Mp with 4K and RAW.

Damn I want this.

What's to be expected of the battery life with this one when recording video?

Great question, guess we will find out once it's out. As far as I recall, the Theta V could do somewhere around 45 minutes of video.

Both cameras can be connected to a USB power source, however, so given that you have a battery pack or a plug, the recording time would only be limited by the available memory (if you aren't streaming).

I have been tempted by the earlier Thetas.
This has tipped me over the edge,
