360 camera dynamic range scaleįinally, to compare ease of use, I determined the number of steps required from shooting until sharing. On this scale, a full-color window pulldown in sunny-16 conditions requires a dynamic range of 10.0. To compare dynamic range, I created a scale where each half point increase corresponds to a 1-stop increase in highlight detail and 1-stop increase in shadow detail. To compare detail, I created a uniform resolution scale, where each half point corresponds to an increase of 1 stop in detail (2X detail). It is hard for buyers to compare 360 cameras when one reviewer’s “amazing” can be another reviewer’s “good.” To minimize confusion, I created ways of comparing cameras objectively for detail, dynamic range, and ease of use. One issue with 360 camera reviews is their subjective nature. OBJECTIVE COMPARISON OF DETAIL, DYNAMIC RANGE, and EASE OF USE At the same time, it was a bright day with sunny-16 conditions, and it was quite challenging to capture the full highlight detail of the window while also capturing the shadow details of the bedroom.
The highlight of the room was its view, therefore a window pulldown was absolutely required. I chose to shoot in a dimly-lit bedroom with no overhead lights, and a bright window facing west, while I was shooting midday. If you just want to jump the conclusion, see here.īecause this was a virtual tour camera comparison, it only made sense to test it using a scene that is representative of what we would encounter in virtual tours. UPDATE: here is the best virtual tour camera 2021. To compare the cameras, I shot them in a typical but challenging scene for virtual tours: a dimly-lit bedroom with bright windows.
Which is the best 360 camera for virtual tours in 2020? I compared eleven 360 cameras and a DSLR using the industry’s first objective comparison for detail and dynamic range.
