Canon XF300 First Impressions Camcorder Review

 

The XF300 (and XF350) is the newest pro model from Canon-and the company's first to feature flash memory recording. The camcorder has many of the same manual controls and features as Canon's HDV line of professional camcorders, but the company also...

The XF300 has been a long time coming for Canon, as all of the other major professional camcorder manufacturers have had tapeless models out for quite some time now. Still, we are very impressed with what Canon has done with the XF300 from a design...

XF300: Canon Professional Camcorder Review

 

The Canon XF300 is a very capable camcorder. It is a professional grade device but it is designed for ease of use, which means even amateur videographers and filmmakers will find this camcorder a joy to use.

Fantastic Camera

 

Superb Image quality, but little steep learning curve. If you intended to get full use of camera and going away from the auto modes and adjust the menu setting and calibration read lot of white papers and other online resources.

Wonderful Piece of Equipment

 

I am using the XF300 for documentary interviews. It has a full range of features, some I have not tired. However, it is no more complicated than my old Sony Handi-Cam VX2000! The videoI have shot is stunning. Perhaps, after hours of use, I may have a...
