The HTC Re achieves its aims, but its lack of technical features (no 4K, Full HD 60 fps, or integrated screen) prevents it from competing with the rest, such as the Kodak PixPro SP1, for example. That said, the camera's primary selling points are its comp...
To begin with I was a little confused as to where this would “fit” in my life but it's definitely an action / sports camera in my book. It'll also work for those moments when you'd perhaps like to take a small Director role in your own footage, filming a...

Abstract: Like MP3 players, digital cameras have been all but obliterated by smartphones which assimilated their features into a single monolithic slab. It's no bad thing: our pockets are less cluttered, our lives simpler because we only have to charge one devic...

There is noticeable shutter lag. Its video and photo quality aren't significantly better than a smartphone and audio quality is poor. Its battery isn't user replaceable or removable. Its shape is great for holding, but the body is a bit slippery
The HTC Re's features might not be as unusual as its design, but it's still a solid little camera that's easier and faster to shoot with than your average smartphone....
Funky but thoughtful design, Wide-angle lens, Instantly ready to use, Shoots decent photos
Additional features, settings buried in app, Video quality could be better, Short battery life, Overpriced
Despite our initial qualms, the Re turned out to be fun to use, and if you don't expect too much out of it (like moviemaking chops), it does the job. Photo quality is good, and video is OK, but it stands out from the crowd with its unique and effective d...
Battery life Open Gallery The battery life itself is said to last about 1000 pictures (or about 2 hours in terms of video life) which is pretty remarkable for a tool of this size. HTC claims it'll charge from dead to full in a matter of two hour...
The HTC RE is a fun device, though for enthusiast photographers it is obviously far too limited. For those who want to capture memorable moments, the disconnection of a viewfinder allows you live a moment rather than worry about whether you are capturing...
The HTC Re is a device I want to like. I want to laud innovation, and this little camera is certainly that. But can HTC start a new product category? It's too expensive - I get that it needs to be to reach the premium performance level, but it's not even...
Abstract: As well as announcing the double camera-toting Desire Eye smartphone, HTC has also unveiled a completely new product category for the brand.Entering the world of the point and shoot is the highly unusual RE camera. Designed as a simpler competitor to the...

Image and video quality not good enough, Some connection and app issues
Despite the fact that our phones take better pictures, we keep finding ourselves using the RE to take quick snaps instead. If HTC can improve the image and video quality in a sequel then it could be a real winner. Limitations and software niggles aside...
