Panono Camera vs LG 360 CAM

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 LG 360 camera has a small rectangular frame with a plastic sheath that slides over its lenses to protect them from scratches. It's rather short and a little thick, which may make it feel a bit bulky. But even then, it's small enough to be carried around and fits comfortably in a pocket.

Most good 360 degree cameras cost upward fo $300. LG 360 is one of the few (if not only) 360-degree cameras that costs $200 and has great specs.

The camera on its own is very simple to use. It only has two buttons: a power button and a shutter button.

Most of the time though it will be used in tandem with a smartphone which again, is pretty easy to do. Connecting a phone to the camera consists of selecting it from the phone's Wi-Fi settings like any other wireless network.

The micro SD card can be quickly removed and replaced with another if the user requires more storage. In this sense, the user is not limited to the built-in storage capacity of some other options.

The camera is easy to damage due to the protruding lens. However, it comes with a hard shell cover which keeps it protected when in your pocket/bag.

The LG 360 has one of the higher MP specs at 16MP, and the images have good clarity in well-lit areas.

Gives you the option of tweaking the camera settings for capturing images in difficult situations and/or adding an artistic effect.

The lens cover not only provides protection, but it also doubles as a small stand.

When taken in good lighting, the higher resolution results in a fairly clear and sharp video.

The smartphone app allows previewing the footage that the camera is capturing. It can also adjust settings such as exposure and white balance.
