Canon XF300 Professional PAL Camcorder
DESCRIPTION: Buy new Canon XF300 Professional PAL Camcorder from TipTop Electronics Best Store For Professional Camera with following features: MPEG-2 50 Mb/s Codec Canon's adaptation of MPEG-2 for the XF300 Professional Camcorder, named the Canon XF Codec, ensures the widest compatibility with existing industry infrastructure and non-linear editing (NLE) systems. And by using an MXF file wrapper, video and audio can be wrapped in a single file along with important metadata. The codec's 50Mbps constant bit rate provides the bandwidth needed to capture the XF300's superior resolution and color in spectacular detail. 4:2:2 Color Sampling The XF300 supports the highest HD quality, with Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, up to 50 Mb/s bit rate and 4:2:2 color sampling. 4:2:2 color sampling provides twice the color resolution of HDV and other codecs that use 4:2:0 color sampling. 4:2:2 provides ultra-fine transitions in tone and color and maintains the highest quality image for use in post-production processes such as chroma keying, color grading, advanced compositing, and effects.
Record to Compact Flash Cards Unlike other camcorders using proprietary memory systems, the XF300 records to costeffective and readily available Compact Flash (CF) cards. The camcorder features two CF card slots and offers versatile recording functions including relay recording, hot swapping, file copy & backup, and pre-record cache (3 seconds). File-based recording facilitates workflow by reducing transfer times when moving video to nonlinear editing (NLE) systems. Additionally, metadata can be input at image acquisition, and imagery may be reviewed immediately after recording to ensure every shot is captured and logged correctly. Three Canon Native 1920 x 1080 CMOS Image Sensors Newly designed and manufactured exclusively by Canon, the XF300 camcorder incorporates three native 1920 x 1080 CMOS image sensors, which deliver outstanding Full HD video recording with minimal noise. These 1/3-inch sensors enable a compact lens and body design, for greater mobility and quick shooting. Multiple Bit Rates, Resolution, & Frame Rates Multiple recording modes, resolutions, and frame rates make the XF300 Professional Camcorder creatively flexible and able to work in virtually any production environment. From the highest quality 50 Mb/s Full HD, to the HDV-compatible 25 Mb/s, users will find the camcorder capable of taking on any job. The XF300 Professional Camcorder also offers a full range of selectable frame rates. You can choose among 50i, 50p, and 25p settings to achieve just the look you want. Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor The XF300 features Canon's powerful DIGIC DV III Image Processor, which provides enhanced shading, lifelike tonal gradations, new custom picture settings and lower power consumption. DIGIC DV III is also the high-speed engine which powers Genuine Canon Face Detection. On-thego videographers will appreciate the ability to track one subject in a crowd of people. Genuine Canon 18x HD L-Series Lens Inspired by the same high level of optical precision used in Canon broadcast and photographic lenses, the Canon XF300 Professional Camcorder incorporates a Genuine Canon 18x HD L-Series lens that features a wide and impressive zoom range of 29.3-527.4mm (35mm equivalent). The lens incorporates High Index
Ultra-low Dispersion (HI-UD), Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) and aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberration while delivering a resolution of 1,000 TV lines. Instant AF When shooting high-definition video, sharp focus becomes more critical than ever. Canon's proprietary Instant AF system combines an external AF sensor with Canon's legendary auto focus system for fast and accurate focus. Together, the two sensors reduce focusing time – even in low-light, low-contrast, or high-brightness situations – and improve focusing performance on difficult subjects. Super Range Optical Image Stabilizer The XF300 also incorporates a Super Range Optical Image Stabilization system (lens shift) with three modes: Standard, Dynamic, and Powered. Slow Motion & Fast Motion Slow and Fast Motion Modes allow the XF300 to record a frame rate that's different from the playback frame rate, resulting in either a fast- or slow-motion effect during playback. Since the camera is recording real frames and modifying the playback rate, there is no quality loss, and maximum image quality is maintained. Interval Recording With this feature, users can program the camera to record a specified number of frames at specified intervals. The technique can be used to observe natural phenomena over extended periods, making it ideal for time-lapse applications. The interval can be set in 25 levels ranging from 1 second to 10 minutes. Frame recording is also possible, allowing a specified number of frames to be recorded – ideal for projects such as clay animation. (In both of these modes, you can choose to record 2, 6, or 12 frames.)
