Ricoh Theta S prices and specs
The Ricoh Theta S was released on Sep 3, 2015 and is sold in USA for 244.99.
The Ricoh Theta S is a ultracompact camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Theta S is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The camera can make pictures at 14 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better picture quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The Theta S has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will take pictures with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Theta S has small dimensions and weight. But if you want to produce pictures of the professional quality check Sony Alpha a99 II.
The Theta S has max shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. This shutter speed is above average for cameras and is very good for shooting fast moving objects. The Theta S records great videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the camera and you can't switch it.
Also this camera has Wi-Fi which means that you can use the phone or tablet for remote control for example. The Ricoh Theta S battery life will be enough to capture approximately 260 pictures.

- Ricoh Theta S review James Morris, 2017-02-06
The Ricoh Theta S is the third generation of Ricoh’s 360-degree shooting camera, which we first got our hands on at IFA 2015 – and it's the first to offer decent video abilities. The VR craze is very much in full swing right now, but the focus is still mostly on consumption. Choices for producing your own VR content are rather limited, with some products that were announced years ago – such as the Geonaute 360 – failing to materialise.
