Nevertheless we did notice in our evaluate of the X6 Professional that the “the primary digital camera … may be very respectable. There’s loads of element, the colors look sensible and the HDR impact is extra pure than we’ve seen from another units.”
Our reviewer additionally famous that the X6 Professional’s major digital camera is “joined by the acquainted and unimpressive 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro combo” which “aren’t fairly as much as the usual set by the opposite cameras, and are finest averted for probably the most half”.
