NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of the Ricoh THETA SC2 4K 360 Spherical Camera. Designed for 360 enthusiasts, this model offers some welcome upgrades over its predecessor, most notably the addition of 4K video. It accomplishes this due to the use of new 12MP 1"-type high-speed image sensors—the same are found in the THETA V—and a new image processing engine. This system will also produce sharper images with less noise in low-light conditions.
