A generational improvement or a great leap forward for the 360-degree camera? A premium option that promises to be three cameras in one has a lot to prove.
Insta360 X6 review – Is this the 360-degree camera that can outshine the DJI Pocket and GoPro Max 2? The Insta360 X6 has been released at a price point of $699 / £619, which is significantly more expensive than its competitors. Despite the higher cost, the X6 boasts a range of impressive features. The camera has adopted a new design, featuring a pressure-sensitive display that doubles as a shutter button, and replaces the traditional physical buttons. This new form factor allows for easier handling and usage in action situations.
Another notable upgrade is the larger image sensors, resulting in improved image quality for both stills and video. The X6's larger sensors enable better low-light performance compared to its predecessors. Additionally, the camera supports faster 8K50 fps recording, Dolby Vision HDR, and 10-bit color. Insta360 has also introduced an AdaptiveTone 2.0 system to meter each camera separately, enhancing image quality even further.
The X6's connectivity options include USB-C, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, while its storage capacity is 47GB, expandable via MicroSD. Despite its premium pricing, the X6 has received positive feedback regarding its user experience and image quality. The camera's form factor and performance make it a strong contender in the 360-degree camera market.
