Disappointed! GoPro MAX is NO better than Fusion for 360, plus 10 reasons why you still want it.

GoPro just announces GoPro MAX — a $499 dual-lens camera that the GoPro swears is a far better device than its previous consumer version, the GoPro Fusion. I love GoPro Fusion and I use it to create breathtaking 360 footage.
BUT, judging from the newly released spec, the MAX is no better than the Fusion. It is still 5.6K, in 30fps. That is less than Insta360 ONE X or the Vuze XR. The really disappointing thing is, MAX decides to only use 1 micro SD card instead of 2 like Fusion. The bit rate of MAX, according to GoPro official website, is 78 Mb/s. Compared to Fusion, which each card is around 65 Mb/s with total bitrate of 130 Mb/s — that is 40% RAW data loss.
For 360 video, the image quality is going to suffer by more aggressive compression.
