It is an interesting camera, it doesn't have an amazing image quality, but the 360 feature feels innovative and interesting. Compatible for several devices, including iphone (check online for device compatibility list) Pros: - Small and lightweight - Can take photos alone without a phone, but you have send or connect camera to a computer or device to see the pictures. (I don't know if you can do it right out of the box, although there was a firmware update so I recommend to pair it with a compatible phone first) - Good daylight photos - Modes (all modes can be single lens -panoramic- or dual lens -360-): Photo (nice panoramic wide angle when used in single lens mode), dual lens 360, video recording , short video looping, time lapse mode (my favorite feature, I think it takes a picture every 5 seconds) Cons: - No internal memory, you will NEED a micro SD to use (you can test and turn on device, but it has no internal memory, so you can't take any photo without an SD card, I think they should at least include a 4gb or 8gb card, box recommend at least a class 10 sd card) - Low quality photo compared to recent phone cameras - Low quality photo in low-light conditions - Low Battery life - No charger, just charging/data type C cable Neutral: - Interesting stabilization ring to keep camera from tilting, seems stable when "docked in" but I would rely too much on that Conclusion: It's an interesting and an eye-catching gadget that will make people turn their heads and check the camera and talk about. I feel like it still has a lot room for improvement in terms of picture quality. Also what I find helpful is that you can take fotos without having your phone, so if you run out of battery on the phone, you can still take pictures and don't miss the moment. If you like gadgets and new tech... buy it and try :) . If not too much... Buy it... try it and if not satisfied... sell it :)Read full review

Camera out of focus, image is blurred, could have been dropped or assembled wrong, I dont know its history, the trouble with open boxes. I've tried sharpening the picture to no avail, I have the previous model which has a sharp image, I wanted the 4k model, this one is useless, never again.

Very good quality, light weight, small size fit in my pocket. I take it every where I go, snap 360 photos and share on google. Had a lot fun to watch the 360 photos and videos on my gear vr. I put it on my helmet and use my photo to take photo, very easy to use.

Ive been using it as a Helmet Cam while Paragliding. Because it links with my Samsung S8 phone, its important to make sure your phone is off when in your pocket when using it hands free or it'll mess up your recordings and settings. The vids take up alot of memory because they are 2 videos stitched into one 360 video. I'm still trying to figure out how to share the videos and Facebook 360 is being a real Snot about setting up an account so I'll be looking for other venues thru Oculus VR account. I'm currently storing all my files on DVD until I find a betting way and place to store everything after editing. Don't get me wrong, this a great camera for video nerds but its second generation and still needs a few issues ironed out and more importantly streamlined.

The pictures and videos are great - lots of modes and customizable settings. The Gear 360 app for smartphone is really amazing! The only thing that I found missing is ability to connect to MacOS via USB - the device is not visible, so it is not possible to copy photos directly to MacOS, but the display shows USB connection. Worked around this by installing windows in VIrtual box and connected the camera to it.
