At 12:46 I made a mistake and omitted part of the video. I meant to say that the insta360 x4 8k mode uses its quad bayer sensor’s high resolution mode. X4 is not native 8k, so it has less detail than a native 8k sensor.

Killer feature? It could flip open for VR180. The GoPro max was a good camera for it's time 5 years ago except for 1 thing: NO SOFTWARE. That's right, GoPro never made software to cut and stitch together 360 video. They only let you reframe and export flat video, and only on the phone. On PC you can only export the footage as a full panorama - no editing, no cutting, no stitching, no adding soundtracks. It's seriously sad. I had told myself I would never buy gopro again until they had a proper editing program for the PC. But Unfortunately the other 360 options arent perfect either.

I would be so happy if that's the killer feature but i think it's very unlikely. OTOH, canon does have a prototype of a hybrid camera like that. Hopefully they do release it. Re software, the GoPro Player stitches either in 360 or reframed. You can also trim the video. Re soundtracks, it can't do that. Instead you would need an editor like davinci resolve.

Automatic in camera re-framing is NOT of interest or a priority to me as a creator, I still want to manually re-frame my shoots (Zoom level [FOV], angle). Pixel count is important to me but equally so is pixel size (i.e. sensor size). All that R&D and the App is still crap ... GoPro MUST improve (🌐360°) PC & App editing software. I have (multiple of) both the GoPro Max and GoPro Fusion (Plus many other 🌐360° cams [X2, X4, RS1, ERA, Vuze, Sphere, more]. GoPro post production processing/editing software is the WORST. GoPro has made minor and far between improvements (i.e. SLOW). I will still buy the new MAX 2 (just because) but I will likely not use it as much as other brands if the post processing does not significantly improve. The GoPro Fusion (IMO) produces a better image than the GoPro Max, however, post processing the Fusion is SLOW. Though now, using HIGH END computers with NVIDIA 4090, the Fusion post processing (stitching speed) is dramatically improved, if you have the latest beta camera firmware & latest beta PC APP (GoPro Fusion Studio 1.4). The GoPro Fusion Studio 1.4 PC App NOW FINALLY takes advantage of the 4090 and makes stitching speeds close to X4 stitching speeds, but the GoPro Fusion Studio 1.4 editing is still non-existent (but CAN be cleverly tricked into Insta360 Studio) . GoPro Max stitching/editing is better than Fusion, but not much. The very last secret beta camera firmware for the Fusion bumped its resolution up AND that DID improve image clarity beyond the MAX. My best use of GoPro Max is with GoPro Labs and the MASSIVE quantity of features the GoPro Labs adds! Great as a 🌐360° game cam or 🌐360° security cam or 🌐360° dash cam. My best use of a GoPro Fusion is for B-Roll (often on a chesty for lens-risky close up work, it excels in quality and is an affordable risk). Bottom line, GoPro needs to improve the external editing experience to a competitive level. The camera just simply needs to record the best image possible, and the app should do the rest of the work effortlessly.

Weather the sensor will be 1" or smallernor whatever it is, they'll simply need to beat (or at least match) the low light IQ of the X4. GoPro's cameras are notably bad in low light (as well as the stabilization that goes down the drain at the same time) and being in such dire financial situation and having taken so long to release the new model, unless is really something spectacular, then it will be another DOA product adding to their failures and lack of cash. I personally think GoPro is 1 bad camera away from shutting down it's doors and they do come out with a new 360 camera it better be leaps and bounds above Insta360's along with killer editing software to match (which is the next problem because Insta's mobile and desktop apps are really very good). All-in-all, I don't have a lot of faith in any of it coming from them but hey, maybe they'll surprise the market. What I know FOR SURE, is that one more "Karma" and they'll be gone.
