Canon XF605 4K UHD 10-Bit Professional Camcorder - Refurbished

Over the years, the XF605 4K UHD 10-Bit Professional Camcorder has emerged as a next-generation marvel in Canon's XF-series, offering unparalleled mobility, seamless connectivity, and superior 4K UHD HDR image quality. This refurbished model is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Dual Pixel CMOS AF, ensuring high-speed and high-precision focusing. It stands out as the first XF-series model to incorporate Eye Detection AF and iTR AF X head detection algorithm, enhancing face and head detection for more accurate and stable subject tracking.

The XF605 camcorder boasts a 4K L-series 15x Optical Zoom lens with 3-ring manual control, enabling it to shoot 10-bit 4:2:2 4K UHD footage in XF-AVC (Intra-frame and Long GOP) and MP4 formats. This is recorded to dual SD cards, facilitating easy post-production and quick delivery. The camcorder comes with multiple recording modes, including Frame, Interval, and Slow and Fast motion up to 120fps in FHD.

Designed with news gathering in mind, the XF605 integrates the CTM (Content Transfer Mobile) iPhone application, which allows for the exchange of proxy footage, audio, and metadata with a newsroom server through a phone connection in the field. This feature seamlessly integrates into newsroom assignment planning software.

For remote control of key camera features, the XF605 incorporates Canon's XC Protocol, an IP-based protocol that enables remote control of camera settings through IP network-connected devices. This includes the Canon RC-IP100 controller or other IP-enabled 3rd-party camera controllers.

The XF605 camcorder is also the first in the XF-series to feature USB Video Class, allowing it to be used as a webcam without the need for a 3rd Party HDMI to USB adapter. It features a 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS Sensor, capable of 4K UHD video capture at 60p and slow-motion recording up to 120fps in Full HD. This makes the camcorder a strong contender for professional productions and ENG applications.

The XF605 camcorder's 1.0-inch sensor allows for larger photosites compared to smaller-sized sensors, resulting in improved images with less noise in low-light situations. The larger sensor also exhibits a shallower depth of field at large apertures, providing greater depth of field control and creative options.

The camcorder's DIGIC DV 7 imaging engine further enhances the high sensitivity and low noise performance of the camcorder. The XF605 Professional Camcorder incorporates a Canon 4K video lens that leverages proprietary Canon optical technologies derived from years of experience in developing Cinema, Broadcast, and EF-series lenses.

The XF605 camcorder also incorporates a 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization (IS) system, featuring three modes of image stabilization: Standard, Dynamic, and Powered. For enhanced versatility and durability, the lens features a 9-blade iris, producing artistic and beautiful out-of-focus areas or "bokeh."

The XF605 Professional Camcorder supports 4K UHD 59.94p 4:2:2 10-bit recording to support natural and realistic 4K video production. Users can choose between MXF-based XF-AVC Intra-frame and Long GOP and versatile MP4 formats. The latest firmware (now available) adds two additional recording options: H.264 FHD 25Mbps and 16Mbps FHD MP4 proxy recording.

Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology uses every pixel on the imaging sensor to detect focus and to capture actual image information, offering users high precision focusing and exceptional image quality. The XF605 is the first XF-series camera to feature Eye Detection AF which further increases the accuracy of focus on human subjects. The XF605 is also the first XF-series camera to feature EOS iTR AF X, which includes a head detection algorithm developed with deep learning technology. In Face Detection mode, the AF works with this advanced algorithm to dramatically improve distance measuring and tracking reliability.
