Reviewers have expressed pleasant surprise at just how much they enjoy using the X5. It delivers a significant jump in image quality over the previous model, enabling users to shoot 4K video at up to 120fps, a notable increase from the X4’s 100fps capability. The camera also supports 8K recording at 30fps and 5.7K at 60fps. Larger 1/1.28-inch sensors and a new AI-driven PureVideo mode work together to produce sharper, more detailed footage with superior low-light performance and richer, more vibrant colors.
A standout upgrade is the introduction of user-replaceable lenses. A $29.99 kit makes it simple to swap lenses, encouraging creative experimentation without the constant fear of causing expensive damage. While the X5 does require its own proprietary batteries and isn’t compatible with older models, it makes up for this with dramatically faster charging, reaching 80% battery in just 20 minutes compared to the 38 minutes needed for the X4.
Beyond the action camera, several other noteworthy deals are available today.
The Marshall Emberton II Bluetooth speaker is currently priced at $94.99 for Amazon Prime members, a solid $75 discount that undercuts its recent Prime Day price.

It boasts a rugged IP67 rating for dust and water resistance and provides over 30 hours of playback on a single charge.
Fans of classic animation can pick up the 4K Blu-ray of Akira for $11.99, an $18 saving that matches its lowest-ever price at Amazon and Walmart. This landmark anime film follows a teenage biker whose emerging psychic abilities ignite a city-wide crisis. Decades after its release, it remains a visually breathtaking and intellectually stimulating masterpiece.
For those looking to declutter their charging setup, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand (2nd Gen) is on sale for $79.95 at Best Buy, a $40 discount.
