what's going on guys a marking 2nd from TechnoBuffalo and today we'll be giving you guys our first impressions of this guy this is the HTC re camera so let's go ahead and see what it's all about when it was first unveiled at HTC s double exposure event last month we didn't really know what to think of it at first it looked really silly but after getting our hands on it we actually liked the unique look and it's not a bad camera either so talking a bit about the design it's an odd little camera and its shape is certainly unique while it looks awkward it's surprisingly very comfortable to hold and use and HTC did a really good job with construction it feels really sturdy and overall feels like a premium device for what it is around the entire device you'll find two buttons the big silver button is your shutter button or record button press it once and take a picture and press and hold for two seconds we'll start video recording the button in the front is to activate slow motion video and if you press and hold that you'll hear and see the LED indicator turn blue to let you know that you enabled slow motion video the LED indicator will also tell your battery life when you pick up the Ari and blink constantly when recording so when it comes to hardware inspects the HTC rhe sports a 16 megapixel sensor that can film in 1080p at 30 frames per second and slow-motion 720p it also supports time-lapse video and a future update will support live YouTube streaming which were curious a try out the rear camera also features a 146 degree all true wide-angle lens with an F 2.8 aperture a microSD slot for up to hundred twenty eight gigabyte of storage a built in instant on grip detection sensor so you can take photos or film videos much quicker and it's packing a non-removable 820 milliamp battery the read is equipped with bluetooth 4.0 for a low energy consumption and a toe 2.11 a B G and n Wi-Fi for connecting the read to your Android or iOS device the recámara is also waterproof with an ipx7 rating which means you can submerge it underwater for up to one meter for 30 minutes the recámara sports a 16 megapixel sensor and usually HTC does a pretty respectable job in a camera quality department and majority of HTC smartphones are usually packin peasley cameras and it doesn't disappoint here with Ari it actually does a really good job at capturing still indoors and outdoors of course you won't be able to focus on a certain subject because you have an ultra-wide lens but the optics HTC use are top-notch so here's a few examples of some shots I took today and they're pretty impressive of course we'll have a full gallery up on our site at TechnoBuffalo com so make sure to check out some of the high-res photos there now talking a little bit about the video capabilities of this device the HTC we can film in 1080p at 30 frames per second and slow-motion 720p though the slow-motion clips we got from the rebirth not very good the quality is definitely not up to par to something like the GoPro or even iPhone 6 but nonetheless having slow motion is still awesome the 1080p video on the other hand is really good and the audio we're getting from the resound superb it uses two mics and I'm really impressed with it it is a bit disappointing we're not seeing different frame rates for 1080p videos or even 4k video capabilities but hopefully in the future we'll see new options or features added with a firmware update battery life so far is decent HTC's claiming somewhere in a region of 2 hours of total use which means you should be able to squeeze about 1200 photos or an hour of 40 minutes of continuous video recording so far it's held up pretty well though we'd have to test a really vital impressions of the battery life but so far it's not too shabby last but not least let's talk a bit about the re app the app is a great companion to your re camera as it's the only way to view your photos and videos quickly unless you hook it up to your computer essentially the reconnects to the app via Wi-Fi direct so you can get a somewhat seamless connection and from there you can see all your photos and videos pretty quick and something we thought was really cool is that you can use the app as a viewfinder since the redoes n't have an LCD display allowing you to frame your shots before taking a picture or recording a video but other than those features you can change a few settings to the app like video resolution from 1080p to 720p photo resolution from 1612 and 8.3 megapixels toggle ultra wide-angle view and the camera sounds which you can choose from loud softer off the HTC re is definitely an interesting take on a portable camera but so far its functionality isn't up to par what some other portable cameras are offering like 4k video recording and super slow-motion video price is a bit steep of $200 but hopefully HTC will do its best to update the read through firmware updates and include some new and exciting features like 1080p and different frame rates 4k video or even burst photos so far it's just a really cool looking camera that takes really great photos and good 1080p videos which is more than enough for the average person thank you guys so much for watching this video and if you guys would like to see more make sure to hit that subscribe button down below and we'd
