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.
