Canon XF300 Profi

The Canon XF300 records MPEG-2 MXF (Media eXchange Format) files – up to 1920 x 1080 Full HD at 50Mbps (4:2:2) – to CompactFlash (CF) memory cards. You can use standard SDHC cards to store still pictures. CF media is inexpensive and widely available: dual card slots allow filming to continue without interruption.The lightweight 18x L-series HD Video Lens delivers superb optical quality. Full HD at 1920 x 1080 resolution is captured via three 1/3 type 2.07Mpx Full HD CMOS sensors. Integrating seamlessly with existing workflows, movies shot on the XF300 are captured as industry-standard MXF files compatible with all major editing packages. A wide range of frame rates is available, from 12 to 50 fps. This gives cameramen the freedom to alter the capture rate for additional creative flexibility. Audio can be captured via twin XLR inputs and also with the front-mounted stereo microphone.
