The lens cover CAN be replaced. For unknown reasons, insta360 decided to make it harder to remove initially by placing two small dots of adhesive on the cover. With a tool or by hand, you can twist it counterclockwise to remove it. The first time is the hardest. The lens cover has an O-ring like the GoPros and the Action 4.
This is the only 8K camera that gives you an image that looks like 2k. I did a direct comparison and my GoPro 11 had a MUCH sharper image with MUCH more detail. In daylight the image is garbage compared to the GoPro. All of the other features are pointless if the image is soft to start with.
Examples? I find a lot more right than wrong. In fact, I waited until now to purchase it so that I had a better understanding of its limitations/shortcomings. The ONLY negative for me is the price. The Action 4 is very close, but the GoPro 12 is far behind. However competition is great for the consumer. I’m afraid GoPro may never catch up. They have been losing money for several years. The competition might bankrupt GoPro.

You must have a defective camera because your results are contrary to every example I have seen.
This is a settings issue...sharpness is not what makes these cameras different.
There's a lot more wrong with this camera than what you mentioned.
Examples?
