The new Ricoh Theta M15 camera is not just a stick like camera, but a real 360 degree panoramic view shooter

Another one button trigger camera that can be simply mistaken with a key trinket in your pocket. As periscope like RE camera it needs only one button push to take a shot or pairing it with your iOS or Android phone to manipulate it remotely.

But be ready for panoramic pictures only, as the twin-lens optical system takes pictures in 360 degree range all around itself. Moreover Theta M15 can record video in 1280x720 quality, but only with a limited 3 minutes time lapse per video file. But it’s much more than the first generation Ricoh Theta, which had a possibility to shoot photos only.

The camera uses WiFi to transfer the files to your smartphone or other paired devices and also it can be connected to the official web-site of Theta and post there 6 seconds video files instantly, which can be shifted to any other social network afterwards. Also developers have given the freelancer possibility to make up some new apps for the camera in order to ease the remote control of the camera for users in future.

M15 will be available on November 14 in four different color options of white, yellow, pink and blue at a price about USD 300, which is USD 100 less than the previous version. Suppose it’s reasonable, as the market is becoming full of small cameras like GoPro Hero 4 or HTC’s RE.
