My review is purely based on still photos. Between the Theta X and Insta360 one-rs 1 inch, the z1 still wipes the floor when it comes to image quality. There’s no comparison. The insta360 1 inch is so bad I only use it in homes with EXCEPTIONALLY good light or when my z1 is dead. The Theta X is so bad in low light I returned it although it was close to the insta360 1 inch in image quality. Don’t let their own marketing devalue this device. If all you care about is image quality regardless of the other features, then stop with the z1. This is my 3rd z1. I use them for my real estate media business. One I broke trying to replace the battery myself and the 2nd was dropped. There are two negatives but not enough to knock it from the top of my tier list. 1). Battery life sucks even when brand new. I get an hour at most before needing to recharge it. It’s also not user replaceable. 2) Give it a flipping touchscreen already. It’s been 6 years! Just update these two items and it won’t be touchable at all. The only area it falls short is video features (doesn’t matter for my use case), battery (non replaceable and short lasting) and a touch interface.

Nice image quality, The RAW pictures are really nice you can pull shadows very far, with almost zero noise, but it depends the lighting. For Matterport 360 and Ricoh Tours the image quality is outstanding after the image production, you get a very high HDR images. The only cons is battery life, you have to deal with, this is not a camera for everyday use, I use it only for profesional shoots due to battery life and high price of course!

I find the video capabilities limited, not the best. But for 360 images, it’s premium quality, DSLR style results.
