Ben Claremont, the man who reviews 360 cameras with the integrity of a saint, presents the X5 camera in all its glory. The design is sleek, with a touch screen, easily accessible battery compartment, and a nifty sound windshield for improved audio quality. But the real game-changer here is the introduction of replaceable lenses - a feature users have been clamoring for. And let me tell you, changing those lenses is as easy as pie, taking a mere 20 seconds. Plus, with a free lens replacement kit, you're covered in case of any mishaps.
Now, let's talk specs. The X5 boasts impressive resolutions of 8K and 5.7K, along with dual 1/1.28 sensors for top-notch photo and video quality. And let me tell you, the difference in image sharpness and noise reduction compared to its predecessors is like night and day. Shooting modes like 60fps and slow motion at 120fps offer a range of creative options, while the in-built mic delivers clear sound quality. And in low light conditions, the pure video mode truly shines, producing bright, well-exposed shots with minimal grain.
But what sets the X5 apart is its color grading prowess - or lack thereof. That's right, this camera churns out vibrant, well-exposed shots that don't even need a touch of color correction. It's a time-saver for creators who want to focus on capturing stunning content without the hassle of post-processing. So, if you're in the market for a 360 camera that delivers on both performance and convenience, the X5 might just be the one for you. And remember, with Ben Claremont at the helm, you can trust that you're getting an honest, unbiased review every time.
