Insta360 X5 - Waterproof 8K 360° Action Camera, Leading Low Light, Invisible Selfie Stick Effect, Rugged and Replaceable Lens, 3-Hour Battery, Built-in Wind Guard, Stabilization, Triple AI Chip Design

Very reasonable price lower from the physical store. Amazing.

I got into 360 cameras when the ONE X came out and loved them ever since. The X5 is a great camera and takes stunning 360 videos. Imported into a VR Headset they look great. For Multi-Media they are fantastic and the Free apps are the best. This is the best 360 for low light shots and the replaceable lenses are a game changer... Now they say 8K (4K sensors x 2) but the capture is circular so 15-20% of the sensor is unused by the lens so it is really 6.5k or so not 8K but still the images look great just don't expect to zoom in a lot in post because the resolution is just not there. Still, I only use this camera these days in place of my DSLR and action cams...

The first thing I noticed was the big improvement in low-light performance. It has dual 1/1.28″ sensors and three AI chips. Shadows now show detail, highlights don’t get washed out, and there is much less noise compared to the X3 or even the X4. They have now added a new feature in the last software upgrade called ‘Adaptive Tone’, which is supposed to improve even further, but I have not had a chance to try it yet. One of my favourite new features is InstaFrame Mode. It provides a ready-to-share flat 1080p video in selfie-view or fixed mode, while also capturing a full 360° file at 5.7K at 30 fps. So if you need quick social clips but want to revisit the full reframed version later, you’re all set. Then there's the replaceable lens design. I often worry about scratching equipment and have dropped my camera on several occasions. I don’t like to use lens shields as I do believe this compromises quality. Let's face it, with my DSLR expensive lenses of £2,700, would you put a £10 filter on the front? Well, I hope not! Being able to pop off and swap lenses myself, without having to ship the whole camera, is a total game-changer. Battery life and heat management have improved, too. The battery is more powerful, but the camera needs it, so it’s not going to last the whole day. It needs more power than the X3, and I think battery time is a little better on the X3. If I am honest, the cameras do as usual, get hot, but x2/x3/x5, I have never had any issue with the camera switching off. Now, let’s talk about PureShot in photos. This new AI-powered HDR-like mode blends exposures in one shot. The results are vibrant and crisp, with far fewer blown highlights. It works beautifully in low light, especially at night or in backlit scenes, without needing manual exposure bracketing. In short, upgrading from the X3 made sense because the X5 doesn’t just refine; it redefines. You get cleaner 8K and 5.7K footage, smooth 4K 120fps slow motion, InstaFrame convenience, PureShot brilliance in stills, waterproof durability, better audio with a built-in wind muffler, and easy repairability, all in the same sleek design. Here’s why I upgraded from the X3: Low-light boost: Much cleaner images with higher dynamic range due to upgraded sensors and AI. PureShot mode: One-shot HDR style photos that are vibrant and ready to edit. InstaFrame mode: Simultaneous flat and 360 capture cuts down editing time. Replaceable lenses: Less worry about accidents, cheaper and faster to fix. Better battery and thermal control: Longer shooting sessions and fewer shut downs. If your content depends on flexibility, light performance, and ease of use, especially for low-light or quick social uploads, the X5 is worth the upgrade. The sample video was shot at Fantasy Forest Festival. There is a water droplet on some sections, as it was raining at that time

Best sports camera ever had. Easy to use. No adjustment needed to get the right frame. All can be done in the 360 studio. Need a little bit of time to get used to navigate the 360 Studio, to do the editing. Once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze.
