It'll continue doing this until you tell it not to, so you can in theory record for an entire day while connected to power and be able to look back and the last couple of hours when you return to your camera. Looping Video - Instead of worrying about running out of storage, this mode will record over itself when the microSD card is full. It's perfect for capturing a sunrise over the ocean or a wide open space at midday with the sun bearing down. Landscape HDR - As the name suggests, this lets you capture multiple still photos back to back at different exposures so you can enjoy a photo with greater dynamic range. New camera features that offer quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to how you use this camera and when you might think about carrying it around. Not only is the new Gear 360 easier to hold, there are some important new things you can do with it. Capturing a roller coaster ride at 120fps or a dashcam-style video at 60fps makes these videos much easier to watch with a headset on, which is a big deal when thinking about who you are recording video for. You have the ability to take higher resolution videos to share with Facebook and YouTube, but the higher frame rate videos make this camera ideal for capturing a lot of intense motion for VR. Despite having smaller sensors, this new and appreciably lighter Gear 360 is capable of taking both higher resolution and higher frame rate video. The only thing you're likely to notice here is the USB-C port, which will let you connect a cable straight to your phone if your camera is in need little top-off. Removing that feature likely also helped a little with battery life - not that you'll notice any huge difference in performance between these two products. It wasn't worth the extra space it took inside the body of this camera. The lack of NFC in the new model is kind of a bummer if you frequently use that feature on your phone, but the truth is Samsung has already done a great job making it easy to connect to the Gear 360 from inside the app. This smaller body makes it easier to take better photos, and as we know from smartphones more megapixels does not mean a better image. Even with twice the pixels to capture with, the previous Gear 360 frequently appeared distorted where the two halves of the image were stitched together. That decrease makes stitching together images and video much easier, which means the camera itself can take more realistic 360-degree photos. The biggest "feature" of this new Gear 360 is the more than 20mm it lost between the two sensors. So this new camera has a smaller battery, no NFC, and takes photos with less detail and resolution? There's a lot more to it than that in practice.
