The Canon XF605 - A professional broadcast camcorder, built for the field

where is the headphone volume control button ?

PLEASE bring us a 20x optical zoom native in 4K - 20x is SO VERY NECESSARY IN MANY SPORTS!! 4K120/4K100p camcorder recording this in 10bit 4:2:2 MXF/XF-AVC and all the features of this camera!!!! Some greater sensor sensitivity would be nice also for better low light performance. And while we are there, C-LOG 2 so it matches even better with the C70. This would ultimately make it an EXTREMELY versatile / must have camera for shooting sports and events, through to a perfect partner camera for more controlled shoots including scripted and corporate as a great partner to the C70 in particular. Of course Netflix approval would be ideal also right.

Full HD 120p looks compressed and VERY mushy....unfortunately.

This camera has nearly everything...but a better lens (f1.8) and a global shutter would make her a beast. But this is probably something for the successor from the XF705.

Does this camera do 60fps?

What are the differences aside from weight between the 705 & 605?

What are the "Digital Zoom" capabilities?

Excuse me，Do you know when i use PP HLG, why does not have autofocus square point display ? thx....

I Love my XF605. The autofocus picture quality and the custom setting all work together to give me a get-shot every time out.

Can you get good depth of field with this camera - haven't seen many shallow depth shots from it....

Does this camera have LNC remote input?

I read that it doesn't support LANC controllers. Is this true? If so, it seems like quite the overlook on a otherwise supurb professional camcorder.

Do you support i25 format
And what is the difference between the formula i and p

hi, nice video. question, if I don't want to color graded what's the best picture profile? thanks for the help

When I bought the XF705 it didn't have an MP4 option until the firmware update, can we expect a similar update which would give us the codecs present in the XF605?

Can the ethernet port used for NDI protocol???

Hello Paul, we bought ourselves the XF605. My wife is filming with her. Super satisfied with it.
Last week in Mashatu. Within 5 weeks back to Mashatu for three weeks Okavango. It great to film the wildlife with this camcorder. She filmed in 4K intra frame 25P. This gives big data off course . Do you have suggestions for filming wildlife? Do we better prefer 50P in XF-AVC Long GOP 260Mbps. Is the quality as good as? We are not filming for broadcast or cinema, but just for amateur 4K television for ourselves. What about the picture profile? Is BT709 good? She is using Premiere Pro for editing. Lots of questions, sorry. Maybe you prefer email or messenger.

I love to get this xf605---- I have xf405 now

Could you point me in the right direction for a zoom controller for a tripod handle please? I’ve bought this camera but cannot find a zoom controller available on line. Thanks.

I love camcorders. Canon always delivers.

I ordered mine it will be here on Wednesday.

Wow that’s awesome!

When will the app be available for android?

Hi Paul,

What is the low light like on this camcorder? No one says anything about the low light, which makes me worry about it? Thank you for a great review on the camera.

Regards,
Danny

Hi folks, that H265 225 Mbps codec is approximately equivalent to H264 running at 450 Mbps so should give a very high quality image. Getting easier to post process these days as well, but really H265 is intended for direct to view applications.

How long can you record on the provided battery?

Looks good on paper. Hope they make available for download some unprocessed sample clips in a few key recording formats. I assume mp4's will be universally compatible with nle's, but rather not leave it to chance.

This is just another version of the C70 with a fix lens. I would have this for event or documentary shots and the C70 for complete commercial shots.

Can I use this for small documentaries film?

What does the XF605 lack compared to the XF705, please?

I heard there was a wide-angle as well as a telephoto adaptor. Would like to know more about them.

The B-roll you shot of the camera looks better than the actual example footage from the camera. It looks like the XF605 lens has a very wide depth of field like an iPhone video.

it's 2021 we have the technology. Why is your audio so bad? I'd expect better from Canon.

The lady camera operator doesn't look happy doing her job.

DEAR CANON -- Please give me reasonably priced C300mkiii with full frame sensor inside a C100MK2 body.

Shut up and take my money! 😂😂 yes this is very powerful!

This camera has better features than Canon c500 Mark II. lol

the camera lady seems angry ;)

and the price is OK, too! Well done Canon!

the little beast was born ... she really is super gifted..this is for those who love this segment 😉

Is the video woke enough though?

So my xf705 just came in. This sucks.

Very nice
