Third-party reviews

What customers like about Apexcam X80 Pro

  • 180 min of battery life means fewer stops to swap batteries.
  • A removable battery lets you carry a spare.
  • The secondary screen helps you check your own framing.
  • Stills reach 64 MP, so there is plenty of detail to crop.
  • 1080p at 120 fps gives smooth slow motion.
  • A 170 ° field of view takes in a wide scene.

What customers don't like about Apexcam X80 Pro

  • The waterproof depth is 0 m, so a housing is needed for water.
  • There is no flip-out screen, so low-angle shots are harder to frame.
  • There is no optical image stabilization.
  • Optical zoom is 1x, so you need to move closer to subjects.
  • There is no continuous autofocus for video, so focus may not follow a moving subject.

Verdict

A 180 min battery sets the Apexcam X80 Pro apart, so it can run through a long outing on one charge. The battery can be removed, so a spare is an easy addition. The secondary screen is an uncommon extra, and it helps you check your own framing. Photos reach 64 MP, and 4K runs at 60 fps, while 1080p reaches 120 fps. The 170 ° field of view is wide, so a lot of the scene fits in the frame. The trade-off is water: the waterproof depth is 0 m, so the camera needs protection before it goes near water. The microSD slot takes cards up to 128 GB, and a USB-C port handles charging. It suits a buyer who films family outings and vlogs on land and wants a battery that lasts.
