LG 360 CAM captures spherical images optimized for Google Street View
Korean electronics manufacturer LG announced a camera-centric G5 smartphone at Mobile World Congress this year. At the same time, the company announced a 360° camera that’s designed to create spherical stills and video that integrate easily with Google’s Street View app. The LG 360 CAM is a small handheld device that pairs with a smartphone to be controlled and to share its images. LG says that the 360 CAM is optimized for the Street View app, and that files shot with it can be uploaded without further conversion or processing.
The device uses a pair of cameras with 200° lenses and 13MP sensors that combine to produce 16MP images and the 360° view. Video is output in 2K 2560 x 1440 resolution, and is supported by a 5.1 audio system that uses three microphones.
Pricing and availability has yet to be announced.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 (G110 in some regions) is a mirrorless camera designed for vlogging. Its 20MP Four Thirds sensor is paired with clever tracking audio technology, but we have our reservations.
The Olympus PEN E-PL10 is the latest in the company's entry-level mirrorless line-up. It's a beginner-friendly camera that does many things well, but ultimately doesn't stand out amongst its competition.
The Nikon Coolpix P950 is a powerful superzoom compact camera, built around a 24-2000mm equivalent zoom lens. Successor to the popular P900, the P950 adds an improved EVF, Raw capture and 4K video. So is it worth $800?
The Fujifilm X-T4 brings image stabilization, faster shooting and a bigger battery to the X-T series. It's not without its shortcomings but we found it to be an excellent stills and video shooter.
With its unusual form factor can the Tourbox aid the editing process? Will its price and variety of tactile controls appeal to photo and video editors who would like to streamline their workflow?
