Big news in X5, and the reason for thinking about upgrade even if you already have X4, are new 1/1.28 inches. It is a big step of 1/2 inch sensors in X4. At the same time, video specifications have not changed much at all, with 8K 30 FPS and 5.7K 60 FPS at the end. A greater sensor with the same accuracy means more details in those shots, which is exactly what you get here. This is undoubtedly the best looks that I saw from the 360 ​​camera.

Keep in mind that 8K indicates a 360 -degree total shot. When you already frame these shots in the app, the highest accuracy you will be able to export them is 4K. But the 4K shots that you will get significantly better than the X4.

The shots that come out of X5 are great For 360 camera. However, keep in mind that almost any other camera will get somewhat better video quality. Camera 360 is that he can pick up what stands behind you, while the traditional movement camera for Insta360, ACE Pro 2 (8/10, recommends wire) , Not possible. This makes 360 cameras perfect for photographing when you don’t know exactly how you want to framing your snapshot, for example while riding a bike, skiing, skiing, etc. In the past, to get this type of photography, everything, flexibility of the frame, you had to give up some video quality. Although this is still somewhat true, you give up X5 a little in terms of video quality.
