The Canon XF105 video camera offers high-quality, professional features in a compact package perfect for use in the field and for event and travel videography. It weighs less than 3 pounds with the battery installed, so it is easy to carry or mount on a standard tripod.

This camera records MPEG-2 4:2:2 to Compact Flash (CF) Cards for unsurpassed image quality. Two CF slots allow simultaneous recording to maximize record time. 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 Canon 10x HD lens along with a digital teleconverter extends the optical zoom up to 6x. The XF105 also offers multiple recording bit rates, resolutions, variable frame rates, and an optical image stabilizer to allow you to work in virtually any production environment.

One intriguing new feature available with the XF105 is Infrared Mode. This allows users to capture video in conditions with little or no ambient light. This camera also features an infrared emitter with a diffuser to shoot infrared imagery even in complete darkness.

Software Compatibility

The XF105 records in MXF format. Check your software to see if it supports MXF files or check for updates to see if a newer version of your software now supports this file format. The latest versions of Adobe Premier Pro, EDIUS, and the Canon XF Utility will import MXF files automatically. You will need a plugin to import these files to Final Cut Pro or Avid. The plugins are available to download at Canon’s website.

Please note: This camera is currently not compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
