That is the tiniest difference in low light. I am absolutely happy with the X2 at daytime or with enough light at night, but the improvement of the x3 seems very little at low light. Not disappointed but definitely not overwhelmed by the x3. Gonna hold on to my x2 for a while. I actually like the smaller screen because it needs less energy and makes filming in public a little less obvious. Hope the x4 will finally allow shots at low light but anyway, at least I can hold on to my money for a bit.
I'm also pretty happy with my X2 and won't upgrade this time around. Next week GoPro will release their new 360 camera and I'll take a look, but my X2 is fine for now.
Thanks for taking the time to do this - has pushed me into moving to the X3 from the X2 after being a little disappointed with the low light performance on my last video.
Excellent review. I think I'll stick with the X2 for a while longer though. The main appeal of the X3 would be the bigger screen, but for another £500 - nope!
I want to buy one and I think the x2 is better for me. I want to always carry it so thinner and lighter, less worry about the screen and less likely to be noticed
I drowned my X2 and thought I'd buy an X3. But looking at the video examples. I think I will buy the X2 again as it has a smaller screen, is more stylish, draws less attention, is much cheaper and overall a more harmonious camera than the X3. Given that the difference with the X3 and the alleged advantages of this camera do not seem to me to a large extent attractive.
I haven't used either but the small screen seems annoying to use. That doesn't sound harmonious to me and more clunky. I also really like the HDR mode on the x3. The draw attention aspect is basically the same on both.
You have been the ONLY REVIEWER to include low light footage testing!! Is Insta360 telling reviewers not to show low light?? Why is no one else doing it?
More megapixel more noise, The one X2 save much more details in low light and with a denoiser you can have a much better result. it seams to be better but only because it cuts off all the shadows.
What I have seen is Screen should be little bit smaller and lil bit bigger than X2 Sensor is maybe lil bit large but there is no big difference. Total pixels are still the same. But x3 night/dark performance is better I think no need to upgrade.
The X2 seems to respect natural colors better, it's brighter in my opinion. Afterwards, for the grain visible in the image, filming in the dark does not really help much. For the greatest number of users, it is also the most accessible X2 in terms of price (less than €300 at the start of 2024) compared to almost €600 for the X3, the choice is quickly made.
I think the X3 looked better with HDR off. Looking at distant stuff like the bridge had more detail on the x2 and the x3 looked soft. Most of the time I think the x3 had better colors but I see no reason to upgrade.
If the phone app exports everything at 1080p, then where is the 4k or 5.7k realized? Do we need to transfer the files directly to the desktop and do our editing there?
Thanks for the comparison. x2 is better. I watched other videos besides this video. I think x3 is not enough performance insta x3 only has sound performance and screen advantages .The technology that provides 8K video support when outputting video is currently insufficient. That's why it's best to continue with x2
Great review! Thank you! Is it safe to say that if you don’t own the x2, it’s better to just get the x3? Or take advantage of the price drop of the x2?
I took advantage of the price drop of the X2. The features are too similar for me, so the difference is not enough for me to justify the price difference. I'm also a beginner in 360 filming, so I'm fine with learning on the X2, then will upgrade when there are more features.

a little bit disappointed on not much upgrade on x3 compare to x2 ，only cmos bigger and 4k for pov. but that fare enough since too many product line for insta this year. can‘t wait to check the result of x3 video at night or dark ，and waterproof ，lens durable .
Correction : the Xphase Pro X2 shoots 200 MPIX (25 sensors x 8 MPIX) still shots (which is cca 134 MPIX after stitching), but this does not make any video whatsoever, still shots only.
Thank you so much for the great review. I just ordered x3 this morning. Btw I live in London and looking for someone to Polish or repair the lenses if my existing x2. Where do you recommend?
Hello. Thanks for the review! A big request, I would very much like to see the original 360 panorama, which the camera produces in maximum resolution. Please post the original. Thank you
Excellent review. Do you happen to know how the X3 compares to the RS One 1” for image quality? I assume the RS is better with that 1” Leica but there’s a lot to be said for processing.
Amazing vid! Is the "Me Mode" only available in the mobile app or also int he Insta360 studio? And does it work closer to the subject, like a vlogging shot?
@@The360Guy ooooh gotcha underatand better how it works now. May not work for vlogging therefore. It’s a shame because even the tracking function only works well with defined objects not object that the frame cuts out like myself in the shot
@@BenEncounters i think it could work great with vlogging. Just extend the stick longer. I'll make a vid about how to use this feature soon so maybe that will help you decide.
The marketing mumbo jumbo on photo resolution on a small sensor these days are ridiculous😂 my 15 year old 12megapix full frame dslr are leaps ahead on image quality vs these action cameras of today.
Would love to see a review of the 4k forward facing single lens on the x3 vs the 4k boost mod on the one rs. Would be great to help me decide between the two.
I think the big screen is a disadvantage, it probably has a bad impact on battery life. I have an X2 and I rarely look at the screen. It would be better to make a smaller and lighter camera.
Hey ... do you know if there are premium lens guards available for the X3 as I have scoured the interenet and cannot find any and don't relly fancy putting those sticky ones on?
Great overview. The Active HDR seems to be enough to justify upgrading. So far, only the removal of some frame rates and apparently h.265 encoding seems to be a step back.
There was no mic listening segment editing into the video - but absolutely fantastic review!! What would you suggest for people (like me and others hehe) who have bought a one X2 within the past couple of months?
yeah i forgot that! the mics are about the same. ok for vlogs but not much else. X2 is still pretty good. X3 is more future proof though, much better design
FOV +. I would be really interested to know if you can mount the x3 on a high tripod and film a game of football viewing the whole pitch. Game changer if you can !!
thanks for the review. What is the situation for google streetview upload? X2 supports only pictures, not the full video, to create the blue lines in streetview
Where is the noticeable stitch point on the video on the x3? I notice that my one x2 has the stitch point near the top of the sphere, so I cant point it straight and walk as it would ruin the footage.
Got x2. Considering the upgrade. Got a few accessories and was wondering if I should try sell or keep them. Do you know if the X3 fits into x2 dive case and ulanzi chage? Thanks
Agree with the ruined footage Mine got damaged a month or two after buying when the premium lens guard popped open when the camera hit the floor due to the wind
Great new camera, but now the one x2 batteries dont fit anymore as well as the external microphone adapter. So now you have to purchase all new accessoires.
Hey there! Great video; I was waiting to see how the X3 would be, and you explained it all. Maybe I will upgrade! Thanks so much for your hard work. Cheers from Portugal 😊 Like 1!! Yay!! 😊
The larger screen on the X3 just seems like its asking to be damaged - Plus the X2 is about £120 cheaper currently. Cheers for the comparison - think I'll be going for the X2 (Currently been using the Xiaomi Mijia 360 but its getting a little tired)
For common people is more than enough, for creators like me it's not enough. The dynamic range, the resolution and the Stabilization of ONE X3 are overpriced.
Awesome review! Now I regret buying the one X2 (literally ordered it this week and it arrives this Monday 😭). Should I just return it once it arrives and purchase de X3?
I bought the X2 about 3 months ago, and have YET to see a review or a comparison, or even an honest reviewer who justifies upgrading to the X3. The only real upgrade is the RS one inch, hope that helps.
I would return it. My X2 is in for repair for a month now. They don't have the parts to fix a damaged lens. At least the X3 would have the parts in current production if needed.
@@r00kiet80 true, but the sensor is what makes the difference, this one looks like a rehoused version of the x2 with no real visible improvement, even if the technical specs say the sensor is slightly bigger.
Can you explain something to me? Where does the 72 megaPixel resolution come from? Is that hardware or software (firmware) driven? I'm wondering if the One RS 1" 360 edition might have a higher resolution possible with a future firmware update? I also think that the one lens option should be possible with the 1" 360 edition, or is that limited by the hardware of the One RS 1-inch 360 edition? Thanks in advance for your reaction 👍
the 72MP came from the dual 48MP CMOS, it's new in X3. u can use some AI up-scale tool on ur computer to get higher resolution, it will be impossible to add such up-scale function in firmaware. higher resolution does not mean higher image quality, 24MP photo from a professional camera (A7M3) can will u much better image than any action camera with much higher resolution.
I only dislike this very wide angle in single lens mode. DJI Osmo pocket has more cinematic focal length. Unfortunately, on Insta360 can't be this change 😭😭😭😭😭

X2 is still great! probably get some cheap now too
i dunno, theres the RS range and the X series , seems the X is designed with action in mind and RS to be a more prosumer level.
@@jd9781 no they won’t. Just action cams.
I even find that the low light shots of the X3 - at least from what I see in this video - are underexposed, way too dark!
Thanks for taking the time to do this - has pushed me into moving to the X3 from the X2 after being a little disappointed with the low light performance on my last video.
Excellent review. I think I'll stick with the X2 for a while longer though. The main appeal of the X3 would be the bigger screen, but for another £500 - nope!
they are getting like iphones, a new iteration every few months

I will buy the x2
I haven't used either but the small screen seems annoying to use. That doesn't sound harmonious to me and more clunky. I also really like the HDR mode on the x3. The draw attention aspect is basically the same on both.
drowned my x3 as well lmao
They also removed H265 support in X3... So X2 is better!
Is it not waterproof?
Cheers for the video! Keeping my X2.
You have been the ONLY REVIEWER to include low light footage testing!! Is Insta360 telling reviewers not to show low light?? Why is no one else doing it?
If low lighting videos is much better than the X2 than I definitely would upgrade.
More megapixel more noise, The one X2 save much more details in low light and with a denoiser you can have a much better result. it seams to be better but only because it cuts off all the shadows.
You missed a clip where you test the mic.
Great video, lots of upgrades to the X3. 13:48 - it seems as though you missed the audio test!
lol oops
What I have seen is
Screen should be little bit smaller and lil bit bigger than X2
Sensor is maybe lil bit large but there is no big difference.
Total pixels are still the same.
But x3 night/dark performance is better
I think no need to upgrade.
The X2 seems to respect natural colors better, it's brighter in my opinion. Afterwards, for the grain visible in the image, filming in the dark does not really help much.

Please consider providing raw sample image so we could play it around and see how good the DYnamic range is on this camera.
Thanks for the comparison. x2 is better. I watched other videos besides this video. I think x3 is not enough performance insta x3 only has sound performance and screen advantages .The technology that provides 8K video support when outputting video is currently insufficient. That's why it's best to continue with x2
Generation after generation, they release 5.7k@30fps camera. Insta360 needs another competitor to start making drastic improvements.
Great review! Thank you! Is it safe to say that if you don’t own the x2, it’s better to just get the x3? Or take advantage of the price drop of the x2?
I took advantage of the price drop of the X2. The features are too similar for me, so the difference is not enough for me to justify the price difference. I'm also a beginner in 360 filming, so I'm fine with learning on the X2, then will upgrade when there are more features.

Thank you for another great review. Are the batteries and charger different than the previous generation ? Thanks Zvi
Battery is slightly bigger in size.
The lack of built-in GPS / telemetry sensors is disappointing
Pls give your suggestion which one will go for TH-cam vlogs x2 ot x3..?. Note: I have limited budget.
They appear to be stuck on 5.7k for most video. Surely if Kandao could make 8k over two years ago it should be possible for Insta to able to match it.
I have insta360 one rs twin. Should i get the x2, x3 or the one inch 360?
How does it compared to the One RS 1 inch 360 edition?
How much more in price is the X3 to the X2?
I wish my drone had the “Me Mode” video feature. That would be awesome
This sounds great. If I have a Podcasts, can I have both cameras recording each subject across from one another simultaneously?
Thanks 360 Guy, nice video, do you have any advice using an external mic ? I do a lot of photography on the water, always wind noise
I like the loop mode, which I wish they would add to the X2 via a firmware upgrade (seems like it would be possible to provide).
Does it have any internal memory, or just relies on an SD card?
Nice review! On the X2, can all the controls be managed on the app instead of scrolling on the small round on-camera screen?
the changes are not enough for me to upgrade yet. Although, i love this camera! Best travel camera ever!

Is it a better camera for walk vlogging and travel vlogging compared to insta360 one RS 1 inch edition
Just Bought With Your Link Thanks 💯
Awesome thank you!
Very informative review thanks!
What advice would you give a beginner whose buying their first Action Camera to go with the X2 or X3 ?
Thankx!
One more question can I use Bluetooth Remote Control with the x3 thanks (BTW ) you made very good video demonstration

I think the big screen is a disadvantage, it probably has a bad impact on battery life. I have an X2 and I rarely look at the screen. It would be better to make a smaller and lighter camera.
X3 battery is larger so it's negated. bothr are rated for the same. Larger sensors are always welcome imo and it's still pocketable.
Hey ... do you know if there are premium lens guards available for the X3 as I have scoured the interenet and cannot find any and don't relly fancy putting those sticky ones on?
Does the selfie stick for the insta360 x2 fit the insta360 x3?
The best video explained step by step. Thank-you for a great video!

I hope the camera can position you to the 1/3 of the screen automatically depending where you face.
Is it google streetview compatible?
why being the camera 8k capable all youtube videos made with the camera look so low quality?
Where is the noticeable stitch point on the video on the x3? I notice that my one x2 has the stitch point near the top of the sphere, so I cant point it straight and walk as it would ruin the footage.

Is me-mode also working for vertical videos? I hardly shoot landscape videos.
Hey there! Great video; I was waiting to see how the X3 would be, and you explained it all. Maybe I will upgrade! Thanks so much for your hard work. Cheers from Portugal 😊
Like 1!! Yay!! 😊
Does it only export to 1080 on the app still?
Does the x3 shoot in 360 mode 3k 100fps like the x2!?
The larger screen on the X3 just seems like its asking to be damaged - Plus the X2 is about £120 cheaper currently. Cheers for the comparison - think I'll be going for the X2 (Currently been using the Xiaomi Mijia 360 but its getting a little tired)
1:20 "twice as large" is a BS sensor in X3 is 1/2 in X2 is 1/2.3 its only 15% larger.
can i reframe 4k single lens mode in instastudio with keyframes?
Such a high photo resolution and this feature has been shown in a few seconds? Did I miss anything or is it not as good as I would wish?
I will make a whole video on the photos. it's hard to show photo capabilities in a video mixed with everything else!
For common people is more than enough, for creators like me it's not enough. The dynamic range, the resolution and the Stabilization of ONE X3 are overpriced.

Can I use X2 lens cap on X3? In my country X3 cap isnt available
but the ONE X2 has 1/2.3" sensors and the X3 has 1/2" Sensors
Can you compare it with the insta360 ons rs 1 inche?
