According to our 360-degree camera expert
The Nikon KeyMission 360 is an action camera that photographs and records 360-degree panoramas, thanks to the 2 built-in Nikkor lenses. All the image information enters this 360-degree camera via 2 separate 23.9-megapixel CMOS sensors. From this information, the camera automatically creates a 360-degree panorama image, without blind spots. The only thing you have to do, is start and stop the recording. You can do this on the camera itself, or remotely via the the Nikon SnapBridge 260/170 app. The KeyMission records a maximum of 4K resolution. This provides detailed images and offers many options for video editing. This camera's casing is waterproof up to 30 meters deep.
Note: a memory card isn't included.

Do not like, poor image quality

Honestly my opinion, I think the price is a bit too expensive for what it is. Keep in mind that 4k is very sharp, but if you stretch this to 360° it is not so sharp anymore. So one needs higher resolution to get the same quality from today's cameras. (the regular photos)
Then why did I buy this since I think the price is a bit too expensive? Very simply the photos that you take with this, you can hardly or not with another device. (with the smartphone you can try it, but then you get a lot of bonding lines and you need a lot of space) With this device you really capture everything around. Ideal for a trip or outing. I use this together with my regular camera, so not a replacement but an addition to the whole. It doesn't weigh much and it's not big so it's easy to carry around. Even if you have a family party you can place it in the middle of the table and you suddenly have everyone in the picture including the food :-) (best to put it on a stand). The only thing you have to look at is that there is enough light. (the more light the clearer the picture is) Try that with a regular camera. Plus, this device is waterproof, so if you like to snorkel, you don't have to click an extra shell on it.
in connection with user-friendliness, there are many complaints that you find on the web, but are they justified? In my opinion, partly yes and partly no. The device itself cannot be made more user-friendly as there are only 3 buttons present. 1 button to take picture 1 button to make a movie and 1 button in the battery compartment to switch the connections on or off. (for example, wifi) If you want to take a picture, click the button to take a picture and that's it. (Very easy :-), I wouldn't know how to make this easier :-) )
Second part is the user-friendliness of the connection, I myself have no problems with the connection, both for bluetooth and Wifi. I also only use the connection to get my setting correct. To transfer the files, it is best to connect the device via a USB port. Everything is properly explained in the manual.
Third part is the user-friendliness of the program included to view and edit the files on your computer (not the program you use on your smartphone to take pictures). This is the only thing I don't think is right. It is a very unusable program and it is extremely slow. By this I mean when you play a movie that shocks it tremendously. But for the latter there is a solution, I use the program GoPro VR player from the website www.kolor.com , this is a free program and easy to use. The 360° films and photos can be played here without any problems.
So if you want something extra and not just the standard photos, this is highly recommended, by the way you will receive €100 cashback from Nikon until August 22, 2017 if you register the device, so this makes it a bit cheaper.
If you're looking for a replacement for your regular camera, forget this. It is still a little too early in the development of 360° cameras to replace a regular camera. I think you should wait a few more years.
Kind regards, Steven

I think it's a very nice thing. You just have to remember 1 thing: It is 4K but spread over 360 degrees. So much less sharp than that you only have 160 degrees with 4K, for example.
Photos show a slightly higher resolution.
The resolution of these types of cameras should certainly be even higher. And that will probably come. But for now this is one of the best/highest in this price range!
In combination with, for example, the Samsung Gear VR glasses, it is very nice to watch videos. I also put one on youtube. That works nice too. Then you can 'look around' with the mouse afterwards, during playback (I believe it depends on the web browser...).
Definitely no regrets!
