Insta360 One X

The new Insta360 One X camera is out and it looks like it's a really nice camera. I've watched a few reviews and they've all said the same thing, it's an improvement over the original Insta360 One, but that's not really a big surprise is it. I really like the look of the new camera, it is slimmer and has an LCD screen on it and has a replaceable battery. Having a battery that you can replace easily is an awesome improvement as you could take along several batteries with you and never need to worry about charging the camera if you are heading out for a couple of days of filming.
The other nice thing is that the 1/4 inch tripod mount in the bottom of the camera is now made out of metal and not plastic so it should last longer.
The price is still pretty high (AUD$629), but it is still cheaper than Go Pro Fusion (AUD$899) and I think that it may actually be much more similar in terms of image quality. The original Insta360 One doesn't have as good as image quality as the Fusion but the price was the main factor.
I find it crazy how much tech they can cram into these little cameras. I remember my first digital camera, my wife bought it for me back when we were dating, it had something like a 2 mega pixel image and everyone thought that was awesome. The new Insta360 One X takes photos at 18 mega pixels and can shoot video in 5.7K. That's just awesome, I hope that I get out and start shooting some videos so I can firstly justify the expense of my first camera and then maybe be able to buy a better one in the future.
