Description/Specs
Compact in size, light weight and fully featured, the Canon XF100
Professional Camcorder can be tailored to fit a wide range of individual
needs. While sharing many of the capabilities of the Canon XF305 and
XF300 Professional Camcorders, including the Canon XF Codec and Compact
Flash (CF) recording, the XF100 offers some exciting new features of its
own.
Whether used as a companion to the XF305 or XF300 or as a standalone
camcorder, the XF100 is geared for a wide range of applications where
high image quality, extreme portability, and efficient workflow are of
the utmost importance. And with infrared recording and true stereoscopic
3-D production capabilities, the XF100 allows users to explore new
creative outlets and emerging markets.
The XF100 utilizes Canon's XF Codec – a file-based MPEG-2 compression
with an MXF File Wrapper that ensures the widest compatibility with
existing industry infrastructure, metadata and non-linear editing (NLE)
systems. The codec's 4:2:2 color sampling provides ultra-fine
transitions in tone and color for maintaining the highest image quality
needed for advanced post production processing.
The XF100's newly developed Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens along
with a Canon native 1920 x 1080 CMOS Image Sensor delivers exceptional
image quality. The XF100 also offers multiple recording bit rates,
resolutions and variable frame rates to expand creative flexibility,
allowing users to work in virtually any production environment.
