Recently drone shopping and coming at it as someone who has done a LOT of photography in the past. My view right now is leaning me strongly towards the DJI Mini 5 Pro over this even though the cost is like twice as much. If there's one truth to modern photography, it's that sensor size is one of the most important considerations of potential quality, and the sensor on the DJI Mini 5 pro is much larger than this.
With that said, and to avoid being overly critical, smaller sensors can still take amazing pictures, it's just that they will struggle in lower light or higher dynamic range. The larger sensor means each pixel has more area in which to capture photons. On a bright sunny day, lots of photons for any size sensor on anything but sunny days the larger sensor is just going to get more of the available light to create more accurate captures of the world.
This drone itself though is pretty great and if capturing the absolute best images isn't your highest priority this, or even the lower tier Skyrover S1 are pretty tempting.

Actually the biggest issue with the x1 is no d log, unlike the mini 4 pro.

Skyrover just added a log profile to the X1 and S1 via firmware.
The X1 fly-more combo is currently $599, well worth the $100 for two more batteries IMO.
I went with the DJI Flip fly-more/RC2 combo deal posted last week for $540, better controller vs. this deal and I'm skeptical of support and parts availability for these DJI alt-brands, the Flip form factor is a little goofy/big when folded but I'll be able to get parts/repairs and firmware updates for quite a while.

Sorry for the mixup, photo has been updated.
