Description:
A new DJI Osmo 360 leak has revealed most of its specs and pricing and they compare favorably to its biggest Insta360 rival.

FULL STORY ======================================================================A new packaging leak for the DJI Osmo 360 has revealed its potential specs The leak suggests it will shoot 8K/30p video and offer 10-bit color depth It could
also cost slightly less than the Insta360 X5

This year's battle of the 360 cameras is heating up nicely and a new leak
for one of the main contenders, the DJI Osmo 360, has just given us a solid glimpse of how it might compare to the class-leading Insta360 X5 .

The packaging leak, first shared by the reliable Quadro_News on X (below), shows what appears to be the final retail packaging for DJI's debut 360 camera. And that box handily includes a list of Osmo 360 specs, which appear (on paper, at least) to be slightly better than the current top dog in our guide to the best 360 cameras .

Despite the size of this leak, one of the most important specs sensor size remains unclear. The back of the box says the Osmo 360 is capable of "1-inch 360 imaging." But further down, the small print says "when capturing 360 content, Osmo 360's CMOS sensor features an imaging area equivalent to that
of a 1-inch CMOS sensor."

Precisely what this means isn't yet clear. Previous leaks have suggested that the Osmo 360 could have square sensors, which might explain DJI's "equivalent to" language for the imaging area. Either way, we'll likely have to wait for the official launch to get confirmation. It's official now! DJI Osmo 360 packaging.

The rest of the leaked specs compare well to the Insta360 X5 (see table below). The Osmo 360 will seemingly be capable of 10-bit color depth if so, it could offer greater editing flexibility than its Insta360 rival.

There's also the promise of 120MP stills and a claimed battery life that
looks strong when you consider it's quoted for 8K/30p video shooting.

How about price? As @JasperEllens noted separately on X, the leaked Osmo 360 box was seen in an Australian store, so its pricing (starting at AU$759 for the standard bundle) is for that region. Exactly how that will convert for
the US and UK remains to be seen, but in theory it compares well to the Insta360 X5.

The X5 starts at $550 / 520 for its standard bundle, which doesn't include accessories like an extra battery, charging case, selfie stick, or lens
guards that all come in the Essentials bundle. If we use the Osmo 360's Australian pricing as a guide, it should start at somewhere around the $500 / 500 mark. How do the Osmo 360 and X5 compare? (Image credit: Future | Sam Kieldsen)

There's obviously a lot more to 360 cameras than just their specs. Software
is particularly important to the experience, as editing is essential when you need to turn 360-degree videos into traditional 'flat' ones.

But based on the leaked specs and pricing, DJI certainly seems to be entering the 360 space competitively. That isn't surprising Insta360 has dominated
360 cameras for years ,and its latest fifth-generation flagship is excellent, so the Osmo 360 will need to be a strong start for DJI. Rumored DJI Osmo 360 specs vs Insta360 X5

If it does edge out the Insta360 X5 in some areas (10-bit recording, stronger low-light performance) for a slightly lower price tag, that'll be good news for anyone who's looking to buy a 360 camera. And potentially bad news for GoPro, whose Max 2 is now imminent .

Insta360 certainly seems to be on the defensive, recently launching a big, battery-boosting firmware update for its flagship camera, alongside some new accessories and a new BMW Motorrad Edition of the X5 for motorcyclists.
