Samsung new model cammera

The Samsung Gear 360, which was released last year alongside the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, was a decent camera despite its flaws. It was very obviously the first attempt at making a new kind of camera, one that shoots in 360 degrees. “It’s a first-generation product that, before we know it, Samsung will replace with a true 4K or even 8K model,” I wrote in my review last fall. “The shelf life of this version of the Gear 360 is the same shelf life of other pioneering digital cameras: short.”

Samsung at its Developer Conference (SDC2017) unveiled the all-new 360 Round, a camera targeted at creating high-quality 3D content.  The new Samsung 360 Round, however, is completely focused at creating virtual reality content, and not just streaming 360-degree videos.

The Samsung 360 Round camera uses 17 lenses which are placed in an arrangement of eight stereo pairs positioned horizontally and one single lens positioned vertically-to livestream 4K 3D video and spatial audio. Making the new 360-degree camera slightly durable is the IP65 water and dust resistance. The 360 Round sports a fanless design that helps in reducing weight and eliminates background noise. Samsung also ships additional features including PC software for controlling and stitching videos. It comes with expandable external storage support up to 256GB via SD card and up to 2TB via SSD. For post processing, it supports Windows 10 machines and a PC with at least Intel Core i7 or above and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU.

There's no pricing announced though CNET reports that the 360 Round comes with a hefty $10,500 price tag. The Samsung 360 Round will be made available in October in the US before expanding to other markets over time.

Announcing the new 360 Round, Suk-Jea Hahn, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Global Mobile B2B Team said, "The Samsung 360 Round is a testament to our leadership in the VR market. We have developed a product that contains innovative VR features, allowing video producers and broadcast professionals to easily produce high quality 3D content. The combination of livestreaming capabilities, IP65 water and dust resistance and 17 lenses makes this camera ideal for a broad range of use cases our customers' want-from live-streaming major events to filming at training facilities across various industries."

The new Gear 360 is not a major evolution. It shoots true 4K resolution now, but remember: that resolution is spread around the entire 360-degree sphere. No surprise, too, since the camera uses two 8.4-megapixel image sensors instead of the dual 15-megapixel sensor setup on the first camera.

The Gear 360’s video capabilities haven’t advanced much. It is able to shoot in 4K with a max frame rate of 24 frames per second. The highest resolution the new Gear 360 lets you shoot when capturing 30 frames per second is 2880 x 1440, and to shoot at 60 frames per second you have to settle for 2560 x 1280.
