I read reviews and specs on the Samsung, the LG and Ricoh.
I did not select the Samsung because it depends so much on a Samsung phone (which I do not have).
I did not select the LG for two reasons: In Two new spherical cameras you @Patrick describe the app as buggy and you have not had it working with Mapillary. The latter should be fixable, but an app that crashes often is a no-go for me.
In other reviews, I had read, that the Theta had the best stitching by far of the 3 cameras. It helped that I found it at a price that is not too far from the LG.
I needed the camera for earlier this week, so I did not have time to wait for any improvements. Stability and image quality was key.
If the LG has gotten better than your first review, it is awesome, because it is so cheap and should perform pretty well.
@Anders it shounds great. I can push the Theta to be a little faster by triggering each image manually, so perhaps a Mapillary app that does not rely on the built in timelap will do better.
I hope one or both of you will write a review of the LG camera with regard to Mapillary. There is a solid lack of info which is important in this regard.
