Product Overview
Canon continues to innovate and develop image acquisition
products for the most demanding professional. The Canon XF300 Professional
Camcorder features 50Mbps MPEG-2 4:2:2 recording to universally available
Compact Flash (CF) Cards for unsurpassed image quality and efficient,
robust workflow at an affordable price. It is ideally suited to match
the requirements of electronic newsgathering (ENG) crews, independent
filmmakers, documentary producers, event videographers and military
agencies.
Utilizing file-based MPEG-2 compression with an MXF File Wrapper
ensures the widest compatibility with existing industry infrastructure,
metadata and non-linear editing (NLE) systems. And 4:2:2 color
sampling provides ultra-fine transitions in tone and color for
maintaining the highest quality image for use in advanced post
production.
A newly developed Genuine Canon 18x HD L-Series Lens along with
three Canon native 1920 x 1080 CMOS Image Sensors delivers pristine
image quality.
The XF300 also offers multiple recording bit rates, resolutions
and variable frame rates to expand your creative flexibility, and
allow you to work in virtually any production environment. And
complete customization over the image, display and operation makes
the XF300 a camcorder that can be tailored to fit your individual
needs.
