Ricoh Theta X coming

Someone tested it and found 3s for 11K pics. Some improvement, but still too slow:

It seems possible to get 10fps 8K h.264 Video as a plugin developer:

So maybe the limit is the JPEG encoder?

8K is about 30 megapixels.
11K is about 60 megapixels.

So purely from a pixel-rate point of view, 11K might be 5fps…
Might be there’s another limit in the h.264 encoder.

Nevertheless 8K10 sound pretty attractive. Hope the video codec doesn’t impair the quality too much.
Update: the quality is very bad, lots of visible block artifacts: RICOH THETA 8K Video Tested For Developers. It's Great. - YouTube
