Insta360 X4: The new standard for your immersive capture
The Insta360 X4, successor to the Insta360 X3, is a compact and powerful 360° camera, perfect for filming immersive training experiences with great ease. Although both models are very similar, the X4 introduces some notable new features.
Technical mprovements
The Insta360 X4 introduces an 8K video resolution, compared to 5.7K for the X3. The difference is immediately noticeable: the images are sharper, the colors more vivid, and the lighting better captured. For those who prioritize smoothness, the X4 also allows filming in 5.7K at up to 60 fps.
Enhanced battery life and ergonomics
Another highlight of the X4 is the improvement in battery life and charging time. It increases from approximately 80 minutes of video for the X3 to about 135 minutes for the X4, at equivalent resolutions. Additionally, the X4 features a 2.5-inch touchscreen, enhancing ergonomics and ease of use.
Photography limitations
However, everything isn’t perfect. Both cameras share the same photo resolution of 12K at 72MP. The details in photos struggle to stand out, especially in low-light scenes, often requiring some post-production to achieve satisfactory results.
An update more than a new model
The Insta360 X4 appears more like an update than a completely new model. For X3 users, this newcomer offers improved shooting comfort with a more powerful battery, superior video quality, and better ergonomics. Connectivity is also more stable and faster, and the operating system and features are better organized. It’s more comfortable to handle due to increased size and weight.
Value for Money
Currently, the price difference between the two models is less than €100. The X3 is available for €479, while the X4 is priced at €559 on the Insta360 website. For those seeking their first camera for immersive experiences, the X4 is undoubtedly the best choice. The price difference is minimal for a significant improvement in shooting comfort.
However, for owners of the X3, the need to upgrade to the X4 is more debatable. While the improvements brought by the X4 are undeniable, they may not represent a sufficient revolution to justify a new investment.
Conclusion
En somme, la Insta360 X4 s’impose comme une évolution bienvenue pour les passionnés de caméras 360°, offrant des améliorations significatives en matière de vidéo et d’ergonomie. Que vous soyez un nouvel utilisateur ou un habitué des caméras Insta360, la X4 mérite assurément votre attention.
In summary, the Insta360 X4 stands out as a welcome evolution for 360° camera enthusiasts, offering significant improvements in video quality and ergonomics. Whether you’re a new user or a seasoned Insta360 camera user, the X4 certainly deserves your attention.
