Insta360 X5 vs. X4: bigger upgrade than you think

The Insta360 X5 is a big upgrade to one of the best 360 cameras on the market. A new larger sensor provides superb image quality, the new PureVideo mode cleans up grain in your low light clips and the newly redesigned microphone housing will minimize any wind noise ruining your clips. And the X5 also makes it easy to swap out any damaged lenses by yourself, has an improved battery, but also comes with a higher price tag than last year. Worth the upgrade?
