@mariaandwolfi Ай бұрын
The picture quality of these insta 360’s looks sooo bad in my opinion. The colors are overly saturated and without ND it just looks unpleasant to the eye 👁️. Not even Peter McKinnon can make them look good. Even though he is one of the best out there. I hope I don’t offend anybody. And yes a little bit influencer style in this video. 😅
@camerachris Ай бұрын
@@mariaandwolfi, I agree, but there has to be some give and take with varying technologies (dammit, I can't believe I'm on here defending Insta360 after they've wasted thousands of my dollars and treated me so poorly afterwards). It's like when "action cameras" first became a thing, it was accepted that, and still is, that you aren't going to get the quality or versatility of a camera with changeable lenses or larger sensors. But you could strap it to your surfboard, Bro! So it's the give and take and we can certainly be excited about, or, as Peter is stating, over-excited about, major leaps in certain aspects while not having ALL of them addressed. We also know they likely had all of this ready four years ago but they have to have new products to sell so they can't give it all to us all at once. I truly despise the treatment I've received from Insta360, it's been some of the worst I've ever experienced from a company that I've given a lot of money to... but they're still better than GoPro.

@@tamemayman3863, dammit! I know you're right! I have been through this. Why am I letting Peter "influence" me??? Side note, I like having a 360 camera and one of the things this company screwed me on was buying their dive housing, that comes with a specific "vertical" battery, which outright died after two uses. I have contacted the company and they have stated they stopped making the batter due to lack of interest. So I have this $170 piece of shelf ornament and no ability to take my camera diving. I did buy a dive housing for my phone but it's sub-optimal.
@JustinWilliams-hn2bc Ай бұрын
@@tamemayman3863 I had the first edition and they gave us features right before the two came out. Sales weren't there so they took all the features away and did a gaslighting campaign that one couldn't handle it when it had been for 3 weeks or more. So I'm being petty and never buying anything from them.
@regencyarchitecturalmillwo6581 Ай бұрын
Peter's hype video was exciting, but I'm not completely convinced that the image and video quality surpass that of the x3. I think a side-by-side comparison might be necessary to see if it's truly a significant upgrade worth making. Am I the only one feeling this way after watching a few vids of it this morning? Seems like its totally worth it if its your first though.

I see this from the perspective of "core communications" rather than action cameras.

I noticed you didn't punch in on any of the shots to show where the limit of resolution is. Everything shown is super fisheye wide. I'm guessing it doesn't work miracles over the 5.7k of the x3. Compared to a traditional gopro style camera, you're still getting fewer pixels on target unless you're using these mega wide shots at all times. It has its uses, but it's not perfect for everything.

I bought the X3 last year, and after playing with it for 10 days, returned it to BestBuy, the image quality was bad and the X3 had freezing issues. I had to remove the battery to restart it. This camera is definitely an upgrade from the X3, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. Even the Insta360 studio app on the Desktop is still buggy as hell. It runs very slowly on my computer, and I have a very powerful PC. I think I will just get a new regular action cam (DJI Action 5) this year instead of the X4. Maybe when the X5 comes out and they further improve the video quality and fix the bugginess of the Insta 360 Studio - I will consider it. Good sales pitch though 💩🤑 but the image quality is very bad - it still looks after reframing as if it is 480p, and it does not look natural, you can see that the footage is off; plus it completely falls apart at low light. 👎

This does not have 'an 8K sensor' it has 2 5.6K sensors. The whole value of a 360 camera being 8K is that a normal recilinear 20mm FOV section is about 2.7K, which is acceptable, and you have a bit of room to go in to 1080p.

I know the Max is old and inferior but the Max battery door has been bullitproof to hard water crashes and the subscription service is great when you go beyond the limits.
