Are 360 cameras like the Insta360 X5 worth it over a traditional action cam?

Reviewer consensus

Reviewers describe 360 cameras as more versatile (reframe-later, invisible selfie stick effect) but note that single-lens output from a 360 camera does not match a dedicated action cam for raw image quality. Insta360 community members praise the X5's daylight footage and stabilization while consistently warning that low-light 360 capture is noisy. Buy a 360 model if creative reframing matters more than maximum sharpness.
