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

A more intimate way of taking a photo
This is a very clever camera

The editors didn't like
Too expensive
Doesn't yield great snaps
Syncing issues between RE and companion app an annoyance
Suffers from significant shutter lag at times
Lowlight performance fails to impress
Photographs are lacklustre
Autofocus is hit-and-miss
Connectivity issues with app
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
Battery life
Tricky pairing depending on device
No flash for night photos
I would like to see a battery kill switch on the device instead of it being in the smartphone app.

Abstract: Point-and-shoot cameras teeter on the edge of extinction, rendered obsolete by our smartphones. But shooting with iPhones or juggling our Android handsets aren't always the best or most comfortable; just the most convenient. What's the solution? HTC think...
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: The RE Camera fits easily in your hand and only has two buttons Photos: Jonathan H LiuDespite the fact that I've finally got a smartphone, I still usually use a standalone digital camera, a Sony Cyber-shot It's not a really high-end camera, but it has an...
Abstract: The RE Camera from HTC shoots HD video, is waterproof and has a 110-minute battery. While versatile, the life camera does not come with a built-in strap, so you have to purchase a holder separately. With 1080p recording at 30 frames per second or 720p rec...
HTC has the right idea with the Re. They see the need for a small and affordable action camera and they are trying to fill the void. Although the Re cam was way overpriced (to me at least) when it came out, at the current prices now, it's not such a b...

Abstract: High-end smartphones sure can snap a pretty picture these days. This fact alone means it won't be easy for HTC to win over mobile photographers with its pocket-size RE camera. Billed as an easy-to-grip device that shoots photos and video with a new level ...
Again I wasn't expecting it to be blown away by the Re but throughout my time w/ it, it did change my mind. I did manage to get some pretty good photos + videos on it. But like many 1st-gen devices, there are missteps and there are bugs. Its not beatin...
The HTC Re camera is extremely cute and friendly. Its design is “human” and that makes it very agreeable to hold and to use in your hand – which is not the case with pretty much all other “action cams”. After spending some time with it, I wouldn't even co...
