Canon Announces XF605 4K UHD Pro Camcorder; More Info at B&H
Canon's New XF605 is a small, lightweight, and versatile addition that expands the capabilities of the XF camcorder line. With a 1" CMOS sensor, updated transmitting options, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF including Eye Detection, this 4K camcorder fits into single and multi-camera productions, and is well suited for broadcast, narrative, and streaming productions.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- B&H is pleased to announce the Canon XF605, Canon's New 4K, 10-bit camcorder, packed with features geared for professional productions ranging from live event, ENG, sports, studio, to narrative and location shoots. Slightly smaller than the XF705, the new XF605 uses a 1" CMOS sensor to capture 4:2:2 10-bit UHD 4K video in MP4 and XF-AVC, for incredibly sharp video. It also captures Full HD at rates up to 120 fps for slow-motion effects and it records to two SD card slots, providing a variety of recording options from relay to instant backup. Use the camera for simultaneous 4K live output via its 12G-SDI and HDMI output ports or take advantage of its USB-Type C port to connect it to any computer as if it were a webcam, providing simple streaming options without needing a separate encoder. This camcorder also supports the XFT iPhone app, turning it into a mobile production system.

The XF605's integrated 15x optical zoom Canon L lens, equivalent to a 25.5 to 382.5mm in 35mm, has three individual rings for controlling focus, zoom, and iris, so there's no need to flip a switch to select each function―just grab the ring you need on the lens directly, or use the camcorder's built-in servo lens function. The XF605 supports Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Eye Detection AF and EOS iTR AF X (also known as head detection), which will track focus with your subject as they move even if they turn their face away from the camera and walk away. Pro features tucked into the XF605 include built-in ND filters for easy exposure control, 5-axis image stabilization for smooth action shots, and a 9-blade iris for appealing bokeh effects.
Adding to its flexibility, the Canon XF605 allows one to select the Color Matrix in which users wish to work, including the CINEMA EOS color matrix, for better matching and less time spent in post when using other Canon cameras on the same production. The LCD viewfinder supports HDR and features the Direct Touch Control menu that was introduced on the EOS C70, for fast adjustments. Frame and Interval recording modes offer you choices in creating time-lapse effects, while a new multi-function accessory shoe allows you to record four channels of audio via an optional XLR audio interface unit, for clean audio from multiple XLR sources.
An exciting addition to the Canon XF lineup, the XF605 build brings new features and options that make it a great all-around camera that can be used on an array of productions, from studio and narrative work to streaming and mobile production. Plus, the XF605 works nicely with Canon's EOS lineup of cameras, as well as the cameras in the XF series, making it easy to use it in a three-camera production.
