XC-10 key benefits
- Stunning 4K video and 12MP stills from one compact camera
- High bit rate XF-AVC files, great for post production
- Seamlessly integrate with professional workflows
- Get creative with fast and slow motion recording
- Built-in Wi-Fi for easy browser/smart device control
Unleashing 4K recording for enthusiasts
Boasting outstanding market-leading image quality traditionally associated with larger cameras, as well as the flexibility and ease-of-use of traditional compact camcorders, the Canon XC-10 delivers consistently breathtaking results.
Its advanced imaging engine – a powerful combination of a specially developed 1.0-inch CMOS sensor and Canon’s new DIGIC DV5 image processor – gives both budding filmmakers and experienced professionals the blistering speed and quality they demand to capture 4K video, at a wide range of variable bit rates.
h2>Seamless workflow integration with HD, UHD and 4K shooting
Able to fit seamlessly into workflows, or productions with existing Cinema EOS cameras, the XC-10 can record UHDTV standard (3840 x 2160), 4K footage to an internal CFast 2.0™ card at up to 305Mbps, or Full HD (1920 x 1080) footage to an SD card at up to 50Mbps, with pro-standard 4:2:2 colour sampling for high resolution performance.
Wide dynamic range and excellent low-light performance
The Canon XC-10 delivers the rich colour synonymous with Cinema EOS cameras, while a high ISO of up to 20,000 ensures excellent results in low light conditions, and a 12-stop Wide Dynamic Range provides vivid detail in both highlights and shadows.
10x Optical zoom lens
Shooters have the freedom to capture a diverse range of scenes in professional 4K quality using a specially developed 10x optical zoom lens, complete with Canon’s class-leading image stabilisation technology. With a versatile 27.3-273mm focal range (35mm equivalent, in video mode) videographers can easily switch between capturing sweeping scenes and intimate close-ups with a single lens.
Pros and enthusiasts alike can change between movie recording and still image shooting, capturing high quality 12.0 MP images, or extracting 8.29 MP stills from 4K video footage.
Uncompromising design, optimised for easy shooting
The XC-10 redefines the boundaries of advanced compact camcorder design, with a body that’s instantly intuitive to use. Once in your hand, you’ll find a rotating grip that supports a variety of shooting styles, as well as essential feature controls at your fingertips, including a manual zoom and focusing ring.
Designed to match any shooting preference, the camcorder features a 7.66cm vari-angle touch LCD, with 100% field coverage, providing direct access to the menu system through a simple set of cross keys, while an included optical loupe viewfinder, that fits the LCD, offers a more traditional shooting experience.
The XC-10 is also Wi-Fi compatible, enabling remote control of key features via a browser, smartphone or tablet – securing its position as an essential part of any Cinema EOS video shooter’s toolkit.
Fostering creativity with expert workflows
Professional videographers can easily integrate the Canon XC-10 into existing production kits and workflows, thanks to its portfolio of professional standard codecs and recording modes. Canon’s new XF-AVC H.264 codec supports recording in both 4K and Full HD quality, enabling easy integration into industry-standard Non-Linear Edit systems. Canon Log Gamma also enables maximum freedom in post-production editing and processing and seamless quality matching with content shot on Cinema EOS cameras.
Additionally, videographers can freely shoot in 4K, and later down convert to Full HD, to create a higher quality end product, and enable greater flexibility in the editing process.
A selection of slow and fast motion recording modes – including up to 1200x fast motion in 4K/Full HD, and up to1/4x slow motion in HD – as well as interval shooting provide further creative opportunities.
