Canon 7D at 1000 FPS

by Eric on September 12, 2010

Oton Bačar’s video of the Canon 7D capturing video at 1000 fps is making its way around the video blogs this week.  Of course, he didn’t really shoot at 1000 fps in-camera with the 7D.

Instead, he captured this impressive video in 720p at 50fps and then applied the super slo-mo effects with Twixtor in Adobe After Effects.  Check out the video below. [click to continue…]

Canon XF105 and XF100 Professional Camcorders

by Eric on August 31, 2010

The Canon XF105 and XF100 are a pair of compact camcorders that capture HD video using Canon’s XF MPEG-2 F:2:2 50 Mbps codec. Essentially, these are the junior versions of the XF300 and XF305 camcorders. The new camcorders feature a 10x zoom lens covering a 35mm equivalent range of 30.4mm to 304mm and are assisted by Canon’s SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer.  Additional features include a 3.5″ 920k-dot resolution LCD that is fully articulating, along with dual XLR inputs.

The XF105 and XF100 have in-camera features for capturing HD 3D video when paired together.  Additionally, both cameras offer an infrared low-light capability for shooting in complete darkness at HD resolutions. The XF105 and XF100 record to CF cards.  The XF105 offers HD-SDI output and genlock in/SMPTE time code (in/out) terminals.

No word on price yet (I would guesstimate in the $3500+ range), but the Canon XF105 and XF100 should be available in first quarter 2011.
