The HTC Re is a small
Simple point-and-shoot video camera that's ready to shoot when you pick it up. It's waterproof to 1 meter without a housing
And its built-in wireless and the Re app let you see what you're shooting as well as view and download what
Funky but thoughtful design
Wide-angle lens
Instantly ready to use
Shoots decent photos
The editors didn't like
Too expensive
Doesn't yield great snaps
Image and video quality not good enough
Some connection and app issues
No screen display
No lens or mechanical stabilisation
Only captures video in Full HD with 30 fps
Images lack sharpness
Poor sound reproduction
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
Compact and portable, Excellent image quality, Long lasting battery, Ease of use
Poor low light performance, Sub par video quality, High price point
8.0 The RE is another attempt from HTC to branch outside of the smartphone market by changing the way we take photos and videos. The product itself is great, but for the price, they're going to have to convince consumers that it's worth every penny....
Fun to use, inspires creativity, Small, lightweight form factor, Great for using one-handed, Waterproof, Can use it without your phone around
Camera quality is okay, but not better than most flagships, A little pricey, No HDR, flash, viewfinder or manual controls, iOS app offers subpar user experience, So-so battery life, Wide-angle shots can look odd
The RE is a fun personal camera that's easy to use for travel, concerts, the beach and other events. But its camera is merely average for $200, and you'll be forced to choose between the convenience of the RE and the image quality of your current smartph...
Snapping pictures with it is extremely quick and a lot of fun, You can get some fun new perspective to your shots (overhead, and downtotheground), Comfortable grip, Very inconspicuous (shutter sound can be controlled)
Image quality in lowlight is subpar, Video recording quality lacks sharpness, Forget about using it in lowlight or for sports (shutter speeds too slow by default, no way to manually adjust them), Battery does not last long, Audio recording quality is not
The HTC Re Camera is a strange little shooter that has a fun and appealing style. However, it also has a steep price tag of $200, nearly double the price of rival action cams like the Polaroid Cube ($100), and the GoPro Hero ($130).insertAdIframe('ad_546b...

The Re camera is a cool concept that needs more development. Its grip sensor is ingenious. And the way the camera interfaces with your phone so you can see all your photos instantly is excellent. But most people will have a hard time adjusting to takin...

Ultra-compact design, No distracting viewscreen, Perfect for time-lapse videos
The cute and compact HTC Re camera has a noble goal in putting us 'back in the moment' while taking pictures, but its buggy software and unremarkable image quality don't justify the convenience...

Should you buy the Re? If you're not satisfied with the abilities of the Polaroid Cube, then yes. They essentially do the same thing, right this moment. There's no app for the Cube - it's all self-contained - but they're both made to be relatively low-cos...

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....

Abstract: It's yet another entry to the crowded action camera market—and a very late answer to the Flip —but it's an interesting one. The Re records 1080p video at 30fps through its 146-degree wide-angle lens, and it's also able to snap 16-megapixel stills. You cap...

During the recent days, I had some time to play with and test the HTC RE in New York City and it left mixed emotions. My geek heart definitely says "I want it!", my brain asks "for what?" and that's definitely the point. It's neither a Sony QX cam, which ...
