Any chance it the XF-AVC firmware update will enable a H265 codec option at half the bitrate for same quality and TH-cam compatible and with HDR HLG even at 4K60p? and can we change the camera settings to 4K60 NTSC even if bought in a European PAL 4K50 country? What's the bitrate currently for 4K60 vs 4K30? Is it 150mbit/s and 100mbit/s in Mp4 H264 for now?
These camcorder record 4K60 and 4K30 at 150Mbps. We are not aware of any future firmware updates for H.265. Also the models we sell are NTSC only, they do not offer 4K50. Thanks! -Joey P.
What are the differences between XF400 and XF405? XF405 is better? For amateur videos and sometimes professional ones GX10 worths it or is it better to buy the others two?
The GX10, XF400 and XF405 all have the same sensor, zoom lens, recording modes, Dual Pixal CMOS Af and more in common. The difference is in the connections. The GX10 has just the 1/8" Mic Input. The Professional Models of the XF400 and XF405 add XLR inputs for more professional level microphones to be used with them. Then from there the XF400 has just an HDMI output for video. The XF405 has HDMI and 3G-SDI, with SDI being a more professional connection used for production switchers. Thanks! -Joey P
Thanks for the video! I appreciate an overview that doesn't assume I know everything about camera specs and what they mean (that can just make me feel stupid), while also not dumbing things down so much that I don't learn anything. Perfect for most of us who probably know more than the average Joe about cameras but aren't videography gurus with 30 years experience. PS: Thanks for also having a little fun with it, life is too short to always take things so seriously
I'm using Vixia HF G20 for almost 6 years and still i love it. But I have thoughts to buy this G10 4K in the future when there's a good deal for the price.
A huge downside IMHO is that the GX10 does not have 24p as the xf400/405 have :( And a switch between PAL/NTSC is also missing therefore 5x slow motion is only available in the NTSC version with 24p. May canon will add this in the future?
Thanks for sharing this video which of these camcorders would be ideal for me,i film mainly Buzzards in the sky and hate when they jump in and out of Focus so id like a camcorder with Ultra Fast Focusing.
So, I wish Canon would go the Sony route and sell an XLR adapter for consumer-level cameras so people can upgrade them later. If you buy a GX10, there is no way to get XLR inputs down the road as you become more professional. This seems like a big missed opportunity! Sony's AX700 and other FDR consumer cameras (as well as their current Alpha still cameras) are compatible with the XLR-A2M and A3M adapters.
Hello B&H, question please. If I order a new Canon XF400 through your B&H website, do you know what firmware it will come with built-in? Will I need to manually download the latest firmware update? I'm hoping the XF400 camcorders in your inventory currently have the latest firmware as of April 2021. Thanks!
This camcorder is expected to ship with the latest firmware installed by Canon. There is always the possibility that additional updates will need to be manually downloaded by the end user. >Mark
Good Review. All of the cameras I have right now have interchangeable lenses, and it can be a pain sometimes. It would be nice to ditch one of them and get one of these for event shooting. Only problem is the price for me. Out of my budget for now. I understand the price though. They packed it with features. I want to try this thing out so bad.
What would be the difference between this and C100 Mark 2, apart from a 4K label 🔖 Is the picture quality better on this or C100 Mark 2? Thanks for advice.
The XF405, XF400 and GX-10 are ENG Style Camcorders with a built-in zoom lens. They are designed to get you great run & gun footage. They C100 Mark II is a Cinema Camera with an interchangeable lens system, which is meant to give you more of a cinematic look. They are two different kinds of cameras for different looks and uses. Thanks! -Joey P
Both the NX80/Z150 and XF400/XF405 has large 1" sensors which is the first key towards good quality. However the XF400/XF405 is able to record 4K at 60FPS, while the NX80/Z150 can only record 4K at 30fps. That is an advantage the XF400/XF405 has. Thanks! -Joey P
@@BandH thanks Joey... so, XF and NX they have.same quality and Clearity... And one more thing Sir, which i am very confused... Sony Nx 200 and Sony Nx 80.. which is better in Quality and in Low Light...
DSLR is out of style today. Mirrorless is where it is at. Like the Panasonic GH5 or sony FS5....People want interchangeable lenses these days. This camera does not have that.
Hey B&H, I'm looking to buy either a Canon Vixia Gx10 or the G60. Both seem pretty similar but from what I've seen there are rumors of overheating in the gx10. However the gx10 also has the dual pixel where I dont believe the g60 does. All in all I'm just curious as to recommendations of one over the other? Any feedback from anyone is welcomed. Thank you in advance and God Bless!
I recommend going with the Canon VIXIA GX10 UHD 4K Camcorder with 1" CMOS Sensor & Dual-Pixel CMOS AF BH #CAGX1. This camcorder does not have any time restrictions for video recording. It will record for as long as the camcorder has power and space on the memory card. It would require an extraordinary situation for this camcorder to overheat and shut down. >Mark
I had a drone and notice how drones have built in stabilizer when moving around in recording mode. So i want to know why they dont built dslr with built in stabilizer mode. i use dslr for weddings and a lot recording for subject moving so the stabalizing is no good even if i had a tripod stabilizer.
Hi there, This was shot on the Canon C300 Mk. I with either a 24-70mm, or 70-200mm lenses. We also shoot on the Panasonic GH5 as well. Thanks for watching!

Is it possible to record a 4K 60P record on a SD card directly installed in the camera? And can we change the camera settings to 4K60 NTSC, even if you bought in a European country PAL 4K50?

well.... it doesnt have a full size hdmi port soooo i cant really use that reliably to get video out. The damn gh5 has a full size hdmi port..... come on.
well not every camera is made fore everyone different people have their own ideas on what the equipment is meant for and use.... now as for why hdmi port is the way its that is simple it is a top secret that why dont want you to know about hmmm
Wow! canon begins to listening customer's needs?))) Shame, but FHD@120 not in continuous mode... Why??? In other things - 4K60fps, DAF, XF-AVC, 2xSD - perfect set!
I have the Sony FDR-AX53 would i really notice a big difference in Picture quality if i bought something like this or the Sony Z190,does 4.2.2 10 Bit improve Quality.
Too expensive at around €/$4K & no internal 4:2:2 10 bit 1080p. JVC LS300 is better value imho at $/€3k, & larger super 35mm sensor, plus 4:2:2 10 bit internally.
Agree. This camera is XA called XF. No tree rings, no physical buttons, etc.... Canon's XF series were great cameras for run-and-gun, eng, travel documentaries. These new so called XF400/405 are not for professional use. I don't understand Canon's marketing strategy during last five years. They push their clients to switch to other brands.
Finally! A Canon 4k camera worth buying that's not over $5k
Red headed Bradley Cooper did a great job with this review
Seems a little meh but it is great that you can output it in full quality. The biggest features are the focus and the xlr in I think.
Nice review, kind of smug, but I got used to it by the end. I feel like Canon should have come out with this camcorder like 2 years ago.
Any chance it the XF-AVC firmware update will enable a H265 codec option at half the bitrate for same quality and TH-cam compatible and with HDR HLG even at 4K60p? and can we change the camera settings to 4K60 NTSC even if bought in a European PAL 4K50 country?

umm if u review 4k, maybe add some 4k test footage so we can see the quality of the product.....
I'm using Vixia HF G20 for almost 6 years and still i love it. But I have thoughts to buy this G10 4K in the future when there's a good deal for the price.
The picture quality doesnt look great from what i've seen so far of reviews.
I'd like to hear some raw sound in low noise ambience, just to estimate if you can hear the ventilators.
Not buying India sir ... ?
Looks like an amazing camera. Though I like my Hc-x1.
What are your thoughts of the XF-AVC format that will be released for it in early 2018? Any guess as to what spec it will be?
Sounds like a very cool camera!

this looks amasing, prob cost a fortune
well.... it doesnt have a full size hdmi port soooo i cant really use that reliably to get video out. The damn gh5 has a full size hdmi port..... come on.
well not every camera is made fore everyone
different people have their own ideas on what the equipment is meant for and use.... now as for why hdmi port is the way its that is simple
it is a top secret that why dont want you to know about hmmm
Wow! canon begins to listening customer's needs?))) Shame, but FHD@120 not in continuous mode... Why???
In other things - 4K60fps, DAF, XF-AVC, 2xSD - perfect set!
1500$ max for this already outdated technology. 1 inch sensor, 420 8bit, No C-log, 28mm in 4k wide 16:9. Nice gamble canon, great work.
hoping the 505 is and upgrade from the 305 as on a professional level this is a step backwards for some cameramen out there.

4:2:0 is grabage
No internal 4:2:2 recording?!
Go home Canon, you're drunk!
Agreed in this day and age, should be 4:2:2 10 bit at least in 1080p. Canon holding back as usual.
I have the Sony FDR-AX53 would i really notice a big difference in Picture quality if i bought something like this or the Sony Z190,does 4.2.2 10 Bit improve Quality.
the marked does not need a camcorder
they probably can sell it, thats why canon is best selling camera for the last 15 years
The background music is too loud.
Too expensive at around €/$4K & no internal 4:2:2 10 bit 1080p. JVC LS300 is better value imho at $/€3k, & larger super 35mm sensor, plus 4:2:2 10 bit internally.
But that's without a lens...
The JVC LS-300 records only 8-bit internally.
You wouldn't even know the difference without 4:2:2 10 bit vs 8 bit, but the money difference is worth mentioning .
Wowooooo
