This camcorder is engineered to deliver stunning 4K UHD video at 60p with 4:2:2 10-bit color depth, ensuring your footage is of the highest quality with rich, true-to-life colors and high dynamic range.At the heart of the XF605 lies a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor that excels in capturing detailed images with minimal noise, even in challenging low-light conditions. This larger sensor size not only improves image quality but also provides a shallower depth of field, giving you more creative control over your shots. Paired with the DIGIC DV 7 image processor, the camcorder achieves a perfect balance of sensitivity and noise reduction.Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology offers rapid and precise focusing, and with the introduction of Eye Detection AF, as well as enhanced face and head detection, your subjects remain sharply in focus even in dynamic shooting scenarios. The XF605 stands out as the first in its series to incorporate these advanced autofocus capabilities, making it a top choice for professionals who demand reliability and accuracy.For broadcasters and journalists, the XF605's new video transmission functionality is a game-changer, enabling efficient workflow and reliable content delivery. The camcorder's dual SD card slots provide ample storage and seamless recording, ensuring you never miss a moment of the action.The integrated Canon 15x L-series optical zoom lens is a marvel of optical engineering, derived from Canon's extensive experience in crafting cinema and broadcast lenses. It maintains crystal-clear 4K UHD quality across the entire zoom range, with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 25.5 to 382.5mm. When shooting in Full HD, the Advanced Zoom feature extends up to 30x without compromising image integrity, leveraging the full sensor resolution.Stability is paramount when shooting professional footage, and the XF605's 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization system is up to the task. With three distinct stabilization modes - Standard, Dynamic, and Powered - you can confidently capture smooth, steady shots in any situation, from static interviews to dynamic action sequences.The lens's 9-blade iris creates a pleasing bokeh effect, rendering out-of-focus areas with an aesthetically pleasing blur that adds depth and a cinematic quality to your footage. This attention to detail in lens design ensures that your videos have a professional look and feel, with specular highlights rendered beautifully.In summary, the XF605 4K UHD 10-Bit Professional Camcorder is a high-quality, professional, advanced, durable, and versatile tool that is ideal for filmmakers, television producers, and live event coverage. With its 15x zoom lens and 1" sensor, it stands out as a superior choice for those seeking exceptional image quality, flexibility, and performance in a professional camcorder.

I run a video production company focusing on creative arts and events.  We shoot a wide range of music videos, live concerts, live-streaming, and some doc work.  After getting started with Canon in the 5Dii generation, I've stuck with them through the years, adding 5Diii's, C100 mkII's, C200's, a C70, and our newest addition of 3 XF605's.  

It's one thing to shoot a doc or narrative with a cinema camera -- when you have time to truly compose the shot - including trying different lenses, adding filters, adjusting lights, etc, the C series has an intuitive feel and exceptional image quality.  However these quickly lose their edge when switching to event or live-streaming duties -- changing lenses, attempting to pull focus and zoom, and ultimately having to rely more on touchscreen menus makes it tougher to make C series cameras provide good results.  

At first I scratched my head as to why I was 'regressing' to research at "old school" camcorders - but that didn't last long. The XF605 came out and was surprisingly affordable, had amazing 10 bit image quality, excellent optics and low light performance, and Canon's newest (and arguably best AF system.  AF is a naughty world in the 'cinema' world, for obvious reasons, but in the event world, it's a game changer.  For the 5% I feel like I've "lost" in image quality from my C70 (shooting 4K, 10 bit), I've gained 100% in low-light performance,  efficient workflow, silky smooth zooms and a form factor that makes it simple to pull the camera out of the bag and get solid results -- time after time.

I just recently shot and live-streamed a three-day music festival with a fleet of static C-series cameras, two PTZ's, a C70 as a master shot and the three XF605's as roaming cameras.  The results were spectacular.   The artists were extremely pleased with the quality, and the ease of use made the investment worth every penny.

if you're shooting events,  this camcorder is a beast.  No, it's not a cinema camera.... but it has the image quality and low light performance, and delivers all the features you need for live shows and events.

Hits the sweet spot of image quality, feature set, ease of use & price

I head up a wildlife film crew and this is our primary camera, in front of an R and XC15. It replaces an xf400, which was really good in its own right. This is a drastic increase in quality for us.  Stand out features are endless.  The zoom rocker mechanism is exquisitely smooth.  The function and status controls make operating the camera so easy regardless of how customizable it is.  CLog3 to rec709 conversion never fails to exceed my expectations.  Snap on the old trusty 58 mm 500D although unsupported, autofocus works perfectly through the entire zoom range.  Snap on a Raynox HP 9000EX and you've got 688 mm of jaw dropping zoom.  The camera is surprisingly light and has a very long lasting battery.  Freedom to stop the aperture beyond F11.  Built-in time code. Unmatched focus accuracy and flexibility. Tons of button customization options.  Camera remote allows touchless control at full zoom, so absolutely no camera motion.  I always dreamed of owning the XF705, but it was too expensive for our small film crew.  Then this came out :-)). Check out samples on our website using my handle. The lichen video close ups we're all recorded with this camera.
