After reading this thread I really feel you guys are trying to make a bit too much of this Inspire verses camera thing - the guys video is fine, if you shoot it sharp, the client will want it soft, if you shoot it soft, they will want it sharp.
Drones with cameras are what I call; "Blue Skies & Green Grass" machines. Most of the time, you will be shooting at a distance.
98% of the guys using drones are floppin around shooting anything in site and only a handful maybe 2%, are doing real work with their drones. The X5 on the Inspire is for the most part a waste since almost never are you going to be that close to the subject to appreciate the resolution. Lets face it guys, a tree or a car at 100 feet is not sharp to anyone’s naked eye.
Been doing this for a while and you guys have to come to grips that even the Phantom 3 is overkill for most all jobs you're going to get. So, unless you're doing high-end feature work, the P3 @ 1080 is more than enough.
Read my lips; No director is going to let you fly that close to the "principle’s face with a drone" to appreciate the quality - end story.
