Editorial note

The Garmin VIRB X stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 12.4 MP CMOS sensor that allows for sharp and detailed shots. Videos captured in Full HD at a maximum frame rate of 120 fps ensure optimal image fluidity, providing an immersive visual experience. Additionally, waterproofing up to 50 m ensures increased durability, allowing for underwater filming without worry, which is an asset for water sports enthusiasts. However, some aspects could be improved. The lack of an HDMI port limits connection options with other multimedia devices, which can be a drawback for those who wish to view their videos on a larger screen. Furthermore, while the 2-hour battery life is sufficient for short sessions, it may prove inadequate for extended events, requiring frequent recharges. Moreover, the fact that the memory card is not included in the packaging represents an additional cost for the user. In terms of design, the camera is quite lightweight, but its weight of 151.7 g may be perceived as a nuisance for some users during long periods of transport. Although the built-in Wi-Fi connectivity facilitates file transfer, the absence of advanced features like 4K support may disappoint the more demanding users. In summary, the Garmin VIRB X is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-performing and waterproof action camera, but users should be aware of certain limitations regarding connectivity and battery life.
