Canon must believe good things come in three with their announcement of 3 new 4K UHD camcorders.
The higher-end XF405, XF400 models are aimed at broadcast interview, documentary and even wedding shooters while the VIXIA HF GX10 is geared more towards advanced amateurs and hobbyists.
All feature 4K/60p recording capabilities, a newly developed 15x optical zoom lens and a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor powered by dual DIGIC DV6 image processing platform as well as touch-panel operations and Dual Pixel CMOS AF.
In addition, the compact and lightweight body designs measure approximately 5.3in (l) x 3.8in(h) x 8.4in(d) and weigh approximately 40.5oz, 40.3oz and 40.2oz for the XF405, XF400 and VIXIA HF GX10, respectively.
“The compact and lightweight nature of all three 4K UHD models provide great mobility when shooting such scenes as news reports and events.”
