Positioned above the XF105/XF100 models launched in February 2011, the XF205/XF200 incorporate the same upgraded zoom lens, CMOS sensor and image processing platform employed in the latest XA25/XA20 models launched in June 2013. In addition to offering greatly improved basic performance compared with the XF105/XF100, the new XF205/XF200 have a compact, lightweight body design.
The XF205/XF200 feature a wide-angle 26.8 mm (35 mm film equivalent) 20x optical zoom lens incorporating Hi-UD (Hi Index Ultra Low Dispersion) glass lens elements that make possible reduced chromatic aberrations.
The XF205/XF200 feature a wide-angle 26.8 mm (35 mm film equivalent) 20x optical zoom lens incorporating Hi-UD (Hi Index Ultra Low Dispersion) glass lens elements that make possible reduced chromatic aberrations.
Further contributing to significantly improved basic performance compared with the XF105/XF100, the XF205/XF200 support two recording formats—MXF, the standard file format used by broadcast stations, and MP4, which offers high versatility through its compatibility with various devices. Furthermore, the camcorders achieve a compact, lightweight body with approximately 58% of the mass and volume of the XF305/XF300 models launched in June 2010.
In addition to its compact size, the XF205/XF200, like the XF305/XF300, include three separate lens rings and is equipped with a handgrip that realizes a 120º angle of rotation for outstanding operability to facilitate shooting in a variety of situations and from most any angle.
Incorporating an Ethernet LAN terminal that makes possible a reliable wired connection in addition to supporting wireless LAN connectivity, the Canon camcorders allow users to select the network connection method that best suits their needs. The XF205/XF200’s enhanced network functionality provides users with increased shooting freedom and realizes increased efficiency during electronic news gathering and other shooting situations in which speed plays a crucial role. Canon’s CameraAccess plus app enables live viewing and remote operation using a smartphone or tablet device, as well as the real-time transfer of proxy data.*
* Enables transfer to a PC or mobile device of footage shot in MP4 (640 x 60, 1.5 Mbps), which offers easy handling on a variety of devices and makes possible reduced data volumes.
