Ricoh Theta SC2 is a new entry level 360 camera with 4K 360 video capability, designed to be a 360 camera for everyone.  Here is the product video:

The SC2 appears similar to the Ricoh Theta V, with identical photo and video resolution, and is likewise compatible with Theta V plugins, but there are some differences between them:

Theta SC2 advantages vs. Theta V

– SC2 features a small LED display that shows the battery level and shooting mode.

– Startup time is faster than Theta V (starts up in 1.5 seconds).

– Preset modes  (Face, Night View, and Lens-by-Lens Exposure modes).  Face mode detects faces in the photo and appears to prioritize the exposure for faces.  Night view optimizes the exposure for low light shots by using a slower shutter speed.  Lens-by-Lens Exposure lets you prioritize the front lens or rear lens for exposure.

– Glossy surface, available in multiple colors (Theta V is only available in black).

– SC2 is lighter at 104 grams compared to the Theta V’s 121 grams.

– Lower price? (to be announced)

Theta SC2 disadvantages vs. Theta V

– The maximum recording time for videos is 3 minutes (compared to 25 minutes for the Theta V).

– Theta V has 4k 360 video live streaming while Theta SC2 does not.

– Internal memory is smaller at 14GB vs 19GB for Theta V.  The internal memory can story 3000 photos or 32 minutes of videos.

– Theta V features 360 spatial audio, whereas SC2 has monoaural audio.

– Theta V has a microphone jack while SC2 does not.  Theta V is compatible with the TA-1 spatial audio microphone whereas SC2 is not.

– No Wireless LAN connection mode.  The Theta V can be controlled with your phone at longer distances by having your phone and the Theta V connect to a wireless network.  This option is not available on the SC2.

The SC2’s price and release date have not yet been announced.  Depending on the price, the Theta SC2 may be an attractive and affordable option for entry level virtual tours and casual videos.
