Of all the "casual" 360-degree cameras I've tested (which at this point is almost all of them), the second-generation Samsung Gear 360 is one of my favorites, but that doesn't mean I don't have some concerns. For one, the fact that only those with Samsung...

Do you need a 360-degree camera and would the Samsung Gear 360 fit the bill for you? My personal impression is that 360-degree content is still not something the masses are clamoring for and even though I now have a dedicated camera, I'm not real sure wha...

Abstract: A new kind of photography requires a new kind of camera.As awesome as the cameras on our phones are, they only capture in one direction by design. With a global push towards Virtual and Augmented Reality, it is occasionally important to capture everything...
Abstract: Samsung's Gear 360 was announced along with the Galaxy S8, almost unexpectedly. Now, everyone had expected Samsung to announce the new 360-degree camera, but they didn't expect it to be announced so casually at Unpacked back in March. The Gear 360 (2017)...

Phone compatibility still a hugely limiting factor, Transferring and processing footage off the Gear 360 not supersmooth, Image resolution takes a big hit from last year, Waterproofing not as robust as Samsung's phones
There's little denying that the new Gear 360 is a lot of fun: it produces footage that is difficult or impossible to reproduce with conventional camera hardware, makes sharing that footage with friends easy, and is hugely more convenient to carry around a...

Qualitative and protected case, Simple operation via the app and key,
The battery life is lower than the official specifications, The picture quality is average
It is unlikely that Samsung Gear 360 cameras will be sold like hotcakes. The reason is not only that the market is not much compatible smartphones. The point is to show the content in the best conditions needed glasses Gear VR, which is not at all. In add...
Smaller design is easier to wield, Shooting in 4K at 24fps, Live streaming capability
Resolution slashed in half, Image quality takes a hit when zooming in, Battery life isn't any different
This Gear 360 is an incremental step forward in making it simpler to shoot footage, yet having less recourse in shooting options. Adding another mode is fine, but with lower resolution, the versatility isn't entirely well-rounded. What you have is more wi...
