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.

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 ...
Handling, Compactness, White balance management, WiFi, Smoothrunning app
No screen display, No lens or mechanical stabilisation, Only captures video in Full HD with 30 fps, Images lack sharpness, Poor sound reproduction
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...
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...
