How long does it take to take a picture? Any delay after clicking the button? What about with app?

Hi P,Thank you for your inquiry.Taking a picture is nearly instant. There is no delay after clicking the button. The picture gets sent to your phone with the app. That takes a couple of seconds.Visit our Store - The Camera Box - Best Electronics Source with a Warranty on all Items!

Does the camera come with a plastic sheet of some sort to protect the lens from high speed impact of things in the air? Is the lens scratch resistant?

It comes with textile cover (it is not plastic, but it is roburst enough and surpricely practical). There is no extra protection of lens and they are definitely not scratch resistant, you have to be carefull for them. But I am very satisfied with Theta S, these are not any limits in practical usage of this device.

Can you view the photos using an Oculus Rift?

I do not have Oculus Rift, but I assume it will be possible since photos and videos can be seen in 360 view on browsers and phones. I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/448kld/ricoh_theta_s_360_photos_on_oculus_rift_question/ so it will be possible :)

I would like to use this as an add on to re listings, can still pictures be uploaded to fb or you tube and the viewer could navigate around the room?

It is quite easy task: you can upload pictures via mobile phone or you can use RicohViewer desktop application for viewing and sharing interactive pictures on internet (including fb)...
