there's a test in German with some examples here http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/gadgets/ricoh-theta-im-test-das-kann-die-360-grad-kamera-a-919501.html and some interactive stuff here https://theta360.com/spheres/130# https://theta360.com/spheres/129 and the last one https://theta360.com/spheres/129
The quality looks basic. If you don't watch them full screen they look quite ok. I will order one at amazon. The price I' ve heard so far will be around 400 euros.

It lacks any kind of manual exposure controls
It produces perfectly stitched, 3584 x 1792 equirectangular images
The fisheye lenses are 0.75mm (6mm equivalent)
Quality varies wildly depending on lighting. The samples I've seen ranged from descent to very bad
Here's a sample of a descent quality pano:

What about the realistically achievable resolution?

spherorama wrote:Well Destiny I'm still looking for the right workflow. Anyway by the End of the week I know if I'll keep it or send it back to Amazon. Certainly it depends for what purpose you would use the Theta. If it's only for a small interactive pano on a website it could be OK. Mostly my clients are not willing to pay a fair amount for the intensive work if you do indoors with your dslr equipment and a fisheye lens. The App to control the Theta via the iPad is quite basic. Using the slider to control the exposure should offer the possibility to do HDR. The stitching error is quite common with a camera like the Theta at for objects quite close to the camera's position. I'll post a detailed review later this week.
