On a full charge, the Re 820 mAh battery can provide for up to 1 hour and 40 minutes of continuous 1080p HD video recording or up to 1,200 still shots before needing a top-up. On top of that, there’s a microphone on top of the cam, a speaker next to the slow-motion button and a micro-USB charging/data port for simple juice-ups. The front button puts the tiny camera into slow motion mode, and there’s also a couple of LED indicator lights to show when Re is video recording (LED blinking red) or recording in slow motion (LED blinking blue).
The silver button found on the Re back is the capture toggle, which shoots stills at a simple quick press and records videos at a longer press-and-hold motion, storing them directly onto the included 8GB microSD card (in case you decide to upgrade, Re supports microSDs up to 128GB). To keep the design as minimalist as it gets, the tiny periscope-like HTC camera is viewfinder- and display-free and it has no graphical user interface – in fact, all it has is the ultra-wide angle fixed-focus lens with an incredible 146 degree field of view, 16MP sensor and two buttons, one up front and another on the back.
That’s where Re comes in: barely larger than a regular Pez dispenser, this pipe-like screenless camera puts you back in the center of the action while filming your experiences either in 1080p/30fps HD footage, 720p/120fps 4x slow motion clips, time-lapse videos or 16 megapixel stills.
When shooting with your camera or smartphone, you often have to focus on the moment as seen through the display and not on the actual scene. Why keep staring at your smartphone for a perfect shot of a family gathering, camping trip or your favorite band’s concert when your can capture excellent shots in outstanding detail while still enjoying the moment without screen distraction? Well, that’s probably what premium phone manufacturer HTC had in mind when they set out to create Re action camera– the slick standalone digital camera allows you to snap quick photos and capture short video clips without getting in the way of your real-life experience and it also easily connects to Android or iOS smartphones for quick media transfer later on.
