Canon XF605 4K UHD Professional Camcorder
Model: XF605
Brand: Canon
Overview
The Canon XF605 is a 4K UHD professional camcorder designed for broadcast journalists and demanding video productions. It features a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor, advanced autofocus, high-quality recording capabilities, and a compact, ergonomic design.
Key highlights include its ability to record 4K/60p/4:2:2/10-bit HDR video to dual SD card slots, Canon's renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Eye Detection AF for precise subject tracking, and new video transmission functionality.
Key Features
1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS Sensor
The camcorder is equipped with a Canon 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS image sensor. This sensor enables 4K UHD video capture at 60 frames per second (fps) and slow-motion recording up to 120fps in Full HD. Its larger photosites compared to smaller sensors result in improved image quality with reduced noise, especially in low-light conditions. The sensor also facilitates a shallower depth of field for creative control. The DIGIC DV 7 imaging engine enhances sensitivity and low-noise performance.

Independent 3-Density ND Filter
An integrated, independent 3-density ND (Neutral Density) filter system is built into the camcorder. This turret-style filter allows users to select from three densities: ND 1/4, ND 1/16, and ND 1/64, or disable the filter. Density adjustments can be made via dedicated external buttons.
4K UHD 59.94P 4:2:2 10-bit Recording
The XF605 supports recording 4K UHD video at 59.94p with 4:2:2 10-bit color sampling, ensuring natural and realistic video production. Recordings can be made in either the professional MXF-based XF-AVC format or the versatile MP4 format.
15x Optical 4K UHD L Zoom Lens with 5-Axis IS
The camcorder features a genuine Canon 15x L-series optical zoom lens, designed with Canon's advanced optical technologies. It maintains 4K UHD quality across its entire zoom range, offering a focal length of 25.5 to 382.5mm (35mm film equivalent). The lens also supports up to 30x Advanced Zoom in Full HD by utilizing the 4K UHD sensor.
5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization (IS): The integrated 5-axis IS system includes Standard, Dynamic, and Powered modes. Standard IS maintains a constant stabilizing angle. Dynamic IS extends stabilization at the wide end for shooting while walking. Powered IS is optimized for fixed-point shooting.
9-Blade Iris
The lens incorporates a 9-blade iris diaphragm. This design contributes to artistic and pleasing out-of-focus areas ("bokeh") with attractive circular blurring. The odd number of blades also helps reduce flaring from specular highlights.
