Z Cam S1 vs. Z Cam S1 Pro: low light comparison


Z Cam's Kinson Loo showed comparison videos between the Z Cam S1 and the Z Cam S1 Pro!

The Z Cam S1 is a professional 360 camera with 6K resolution with amazing image quality.  I've posted several impressive examples.

Z Cam followed up with the new S1 Pro, which has a similar body but instead uses larger Micro Four Thirds lenses paired with iZugar lenses.  It hasn't been launched officially yet, but I recently posted an S1 Pro sample here.

To show the difference in image quality between the two cameras, Z Cam's Kinson Loo posted 360 videos from the two cameras at the same location, in similar lighting conditions.

Here is the sample from the S1:


Here is the sample from the S1 Pro:


What do you think?  Let me know in the comments below!  The Z Cam S1 is $2,499 and the optional WonderStich software is $1,499.  I don't know yet the S1 Pro's price or availability.

EXCLUSIVE: How to stitch Panono images offline yourself and how to fix Panono stitching errors

Image
Panono is the highest resolution all-in-one 360 camera with 36 lenses and 108 megapixel resolution. Its only drawback is that the stitching is often not perfect and is tedious to correct.  In this post, I will discuss how you can stitch Panono photos yourself, or fix Panono stitching errors. Panono is my favorite 360 camera for photography.  Its images are very detailed, and the dynamic range is unequaled among 360 cameras.  Its colors look natural and images look fantastic with only minor editing.  Here is a sample: THE CATCH However, until now I could not recommend the Panono without qualifications because the stitching is usually not perfect, especially when there are subjects close to its minimum distance of around 1.5 meters.  When there are stitching errors, they are often glaring, and ruin an otherwise excellent shot.  Worse still, they are not easy to correct in post. When you have often unpredictable errors like this, it's hard to rely on it for pr...

DEALS: Here are two excellent deals on the Oculus Rift

Image
If you missed the Black Friday sale on the Oculus Rift (reviewed here) , don't worry!  Here are two great deals on the Oculus Rift : 1.  Buy an Oculus Rift and get a $100 Amazon gift card for free You can buy an Oculus Rift for $599 and get a free $100 Amazon gift card! (Not an Oculus Store credit.) ​ 2. Best Buy: an Oculus Rift plus VR-Ready PC for $999.98 (save $330) ​ The PC is by CyberPowerP, with these specs:  - 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-6402P processor - 8GB memory - 1TB hard drive - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics with 3GB dedicated memory - 6 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports - Windows 10. The only hesitation I have with this bundle is the GTX 1060 3GB.  Nvidia says it is VR-Ready, but it could have difficulty with some of the more processor-intensive games.  The Rift does have asynchronous spacewarp, which enables lower-end PCs to run VR smoothly, so this package 'should' be OK but I haven't tested the GTX 1060 3GB to know for sure.  I do have the G...

Image
Production stills.  Source: Autumn VR Many Christians have often wondered what it would have been like to live in Jesus' time.  Their wish will be virtually fulfilled.  This Christmas, a 90-minute VR movie about Jesus will be released by Enzo Sisti, the executive producer of Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ.  Called Jesus VR - the Story of Christ, the movie was filmed entirely in 4k 360-degrees, at the same location in Italy that was used for the filming of the Passion. The movie will tell the entire gospel story, starting from Jesus' birth through his crucifixion and resurrection, and will include key moments such as his baptism at the Jordan river, the Wedding at Cana and the Sermon on the Mount.  "The viewers truly feel they are there with Jesus and his disciples," said director and producer David Hansen. The movie will reportedly be available in all formats - Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR (reviewed here) , Oculus Rift (previewed here...
