I have owned many Insta360 cameras. The Insta360 X5 is by far my favorite so far. Image quality is exceptional. Battery life is really impressive too. I've used the X4 extensively, and that one had pretty decent battery life as well. But the X5 blows it out of the water. The stabilization is insane. No matter what you do, it will always look stable. Also, the phone app is really really really good. Hands down one of the best apps I've ever used, and it's free! It makes editing super fun and easy for someone that doesn't have an editing background.
Pros:
8K resolution
Durable (they say it has stronger lenses)
Battery life
Surprisingly good editing options
Cons:
more expensive than other action cameras
File sizes: 8K videos eat up storage (get a high-capacity microSD card or the Insta360+ cloud service)
Beginners might find the learning curve steep, but the payoff in creativity is huge. If you're serious about 360 content or vlogging, the X5 is worth every penny. 100% recommend!!
