Panono Camera vs Kodak SP360 4K

Panono uses 36 camera modules to take 108 MP photos with zero blind spots. Because Panono avoids using wide angle lenses, instead opting for a large amount of camera modules with normal lenses, the device can avoid much of the distortion that's commonly found in 360-degree cameras.

Images taken with the Panono are Google Photosphere compatible. As such, they can be even used on Google Street View.

This can be achieved by the accelerometer which will trigger the camera at the highest point.

Once the image files are uploaded to the cloud, they are automatically stitched within minutes. Panono provides high quality stitching and is therefore convenient for users who want to save time.

Panono Camera can capture high dynamic range photos due to HDR mode. Its settings can be enabled via the iOS or Android app.

Panono has apps for Android and iOS mobile devices which allow camera settings to be changed (exposure time, ISO, White Balance). The camera can also be triggered remotely, previews can be viewed, images can be transferred to the cloud for stitching, and the user's own and other public panoramas can be viewed by pointing the mobile device in the desired viewing direction. Additional features include HDR and Anti Shake mode, while there are direct sharing options too (website embedding via iFrame, Facebook, Twitter).

The camera is resistant to light rain.

This device has two shells to secure its interior while the green rubber stripes help make it more flexible in case it drops.

With the Panono tripod adapter, the camera can be mounted on a tripod and charged while it is still in use.

Panono images can be accessed via apps for Android and iOS mobile devices and via browsers. Viewing images is achieved by pointing the mobile device in the desired viewing direction. This approach is easy to grasp by any user and no additional software is needed.

The range of mounts offered by the Kodak SP360 4K enable it to be fixed to anything when capturing shots.

This device can capture 720p @ 120 fps videos.

The camera is splashproof, waterproof via a case, shockproof up to 2m via a lens cover, freezeproof up to 14°F / -10°C and dustproof, making it an excellent device for use outdoors when exposed to the elements.

The camera can be controlled remotely from the user's mobile device, allowing for added flexibility.

The company offers free stitching software for those who opt for the dual mount.

SP360 4K allows for one of the rare 2-camera setups that's capable of capturing completely spherical 4K video at 30 frames per second. Most alternatives either can't match the resolution, the framerate or require more than 2 cameras (which means more stitch lines). Important to note that in order to capture spherical footage, you'll need another SP360 4K camera and a dual camera base mount. Once captured and stitched, the output video is 3840 x 1920 @ 30 fps.

Unlike most other 360-degree cameras, SP360 4K only uses a single lens which means that there's no need for stitching the video.

The user can set the camera to a motion-detection mode that allows the camera to record videos when it picks up movement. It will then stop recording if there has been no movement for 10 seconds. This makes for an easy set-and-forget mode that can pick up one's pets or be used for security.

You can capture 2880 x 2880 footage @ 30fps with one camera and completely spherical 3840 x 2160 footage @ 30fps with 2 cameras. Within its price range, the video quality of the camera is excellent. The footage is reasonably sharp and it has good colors.

If you only want to shoot 360° x 235 then you don't need to worry about stitching the images. Though the software can be a problem, the camera itself is fairly intuitive.
