Buying call

Buy the X6 if you want the best 360 camera you can buy in the US: reviewers praised its excellent image quality, large sensors that do well in low light, Dolby Vision and i-Log, a bright OLED screen, a new compact shape, onboard storage and easy editing. Skip it if you own an X5, because it's only slightly better. It has a premium price, occasional stitch lines and a learning curve.
