As an advanced all-round 4K camera, the Canon XF605 (pictured) is built to take on a huge variety of jobs, from news gathering and live productions to cinematic documentaries. Dual SD card slots also add convenience. "You are able to set different formats, different resolutions and different compression levels to be recorded to each card simultaneously," says Mehdia Mehtal, Channel Marketing Executive for Professional Video & Broadcast at Canon UK. "You can even separate the audio from the video, so you can record video to one card and audio to the other."
Canon's professional video cameras combine some of the best Canon video technology with a familiar, easy-to-use camcorder design. As dedicated all-in-one video cameras, they are easier to control than DSLR or mirrorless cameras, and their compact design makes them more portable than Cinema EOS cameras. This makes them an excellent standalone choice for fast-paced productions, from newsgathering and live events to documentaries and weddings. But which is the best Canon camcorder for you?
