Is any of the following: focus, zoom, iris done mechanically (hence perfectly proprtional to ring movement) or all of these functions are executed "through the wire"?
hey, that's great footage…could you explain to me how you blurred the background automatically…giving it that cinematic look?? I have a Canon XF 100 and know that it's the Depth of Field, but don't know how to make the camera control it automatically...
Thanks so much for this video! I love this camera, but there is one thing that makes it almost unusable for me, regarding the zoom - I wonder if you or anyone can help me with this? I like to use "manual focus", and I focus the old-school way - zoom right in, focus, then zoom back out. I like to use the "Grip Rocker" for zoom, but I am finding that it is way too slow for me, even when I set it to the fastest speed of "16". Don't suppose there is a way to increase the speed of the Grip Rocket beyond this?
So for the flash cards how do you get footage over to computer ? Do I need a converter ?! Or why would you recommend? I’m thinking about buying this camera I have a canon t7i but this one is more professional for what I do !!
What is the maximum focusing distance of the lens? I'm looking for one that can work in a church setting positioned approximately 25m from the subject.
Is it possible to do a 'Live feed' from this. As in film someone performing, say Violin playing and have the camera linked to a Projector which shows the player 'live' on a large screen behind them. Like is done in Live Concerts? Thank you in advance - Aindre
Dude you are a really good spokesman, easy going and clear spoken. I am looking to buy this XF100 camera soon. I wish you had given us your personal opinion of it and elaborated on whether you use this particular cam in your daily business and to what degree. Thanks
Hello, can you confirm that to record movie on this camcorder you need CF cards and not SD cards ? and if yes, what sort precisely of CF ones do I need nowodays because I always have the terms "invamlid operation when I want recording ?? Thanks a lot
I don't know if this feed is still being updated, but I got the camera and I had to learn there are specific ScanDisk cards to use an not just any company. When I finally figure it out, a 32GB will record for 1 hour, the only problem is, it breaks the recording up every 7 minutes, so which means I have to join about the videos when I put them on the time line, is there a setting to do one long recording or am I stuck with this break up in the recording or am I using the wrong memory cards or something?
actually you can directly use the footage from your CF Card. Canon provides a FCP X plugin for the MXF Containers. If you plug in your camera via USB FCP should then recognize the CF-Cards and you can directly import and edit the video without converting.
what's your take on using Canon XF 100 vs panasonic GH3 to shoot video for settings like basketball, manufacturing, and remodeling? I've a video shooter but am attracted to using DSLR only for the lens options. Also on sports, I'd rather shoot 60p and not 60i
Thanks so much for your reply, I wish didn't have to convert the footage from XMF as no matter how high the conversion ration would be, we still loose a bit of the original quality. what settings of conversion would you suggest so there will be minimum loss ? I have read a lot about the XMF format and people who have issues importing into after effects or premier. I think it depends on the OS, as it's originally designed for Mac.
Great Video! How does this compare to the XA20? Is the XF100 still worth paying around $500 more for even though the XA20 some better specs in some areas?
Thanks for review... I assume between the XF 100 vs 200 you'd pick the 200? I need a lightweight camera I can always have on hand for back up and my canon XA10 has always been good to me and want a little more robust than that...
yaaqob hawkins nice, do you think the Canon XF100 is far more superior quality video/film than 5Diii if you re-shoot this CANON XF100 Review & Test Footage using the camcorder Canon XF100?
Was looking at getting one of these for shooting video in close settings and was wondering how the stabilization worked for it? Some of the places I would be using it are not conducive to tripods. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the great overview. How to import the footage in After effects or Premier?..Also any special setup for the camera to be used with green screen?
What an awesome video. Great sound and vibe, very professional. If I can make one suggestion and that is to not say "ummm", but instead try not saying anything. Just doing that helped me tremendously. Other than that, you are awesome!
Thanx for a great video review. What bugged me was the focus. It's not very clear when you're showing all the buttons on the xf100. But, is there no HDMI out on this camcorder?
I have the Canon XF100 and I'm trying to upload a video to TH-cam. However, the video format of the camera is MXF.. What did you do to upload your video?
I use Pavetube HD video converter to convert the MXF's to MOV format. I usually edit in Pro Res 422 Proxy, then when uploading to TH-cam I convert my Pro Res 422 Proxy export from FCPX to MPEG-4 format.
Great review - THANKS! For the money, do you believe this is the best bang for the buck for doing docs and professional interviews or would you recommend something different? I am a former professional still photographer, but am doing a documentary project. Also, is the provided software good for editing or would you recommend something else? Cost isn't as important as doing it right the first time.
A not-powered hotshot = a cold shoe ;) great video but I will pass this camera for me. At a smilier price-point the Sony CX-90 have a *much* nicer image.
MXF is a container or "wrapper" and not a codec. You got it wrong, bud. "At 1080p, 60fps, INTERLACED" Read up what INTERLACED scanning and PROGRESSIVE scanning are and know their differences. The feel of your video is great man but you are misinforming people.
+LakeKoverFilms 0:59 "It shoots in MPEG2 which is a file wrapper of MXF" There's my evidence And also, it's not "color SPACING", it's "chroma sampling" or "color sampling" I'm not trolling you, man. I'm just pointing out the facts.
Ok, so I got a little verbiage wrong. Your right, it is color sampling. But as for MXF, even though I said it confusingly I was conveying that MXF was the rapper.
@@cecilgondo9657 the image quality. It just too bad. Even in a good light situation you get a lot of noise, and colors aree just the worse. I have a little camcorder canon from 2011 that films way way way better than this one
@ 3:30 . A Hot-shoe which isn't powered is called a Cold-shoe
What is the song from 6:57?
Im still waiting :D

1080

What fisheye can you use on this camera?
Tried the CF card from camera to FCP X, but still no success? Is there an easier way with iMovie?
I want to know this?
Shanette Martin You have to download a plug-in to use the CF card in FCP X.

Can it zoom in on objects pretty far away
Enjoyed the video. I have a Canon XF100 camera, Macbook pro OS and FCP X but I am unable to get the files edited. Please can you advise.
Sorry for the late reply. I use Pavetube HD video converter to convert the MXF's to Pro Res 422 proxy for editing in FCPX. Hope this helps!

what cam is being used in this video?. :)
on which site did you buy it ? (It showed a picture in the video) NonStopFStop
Would you recommend this camera for sports recording? Most notably football at night? How simple is it to transfer to a mac for editing?
great vid bru. am thinking about getting one of these and this review was really helpful. thnx

What camera and lenses did you use to shoot this video (Obviously, the one besides the XF100?) Thanks!
5D Mrk III with the canon 24-105mm lens
Thank you, sir!
5diii and 24-105
How good is the image stabilization

The XF200 is the better camera, you gain a better body and 50/60p mp4
Does the format video of this camera is supported by adobe premiere pro cc and after effects ?
Yes it is. I edit footage from the XF100 in Premiere Pro and After Effects CC all the time.
I'm more interested in what camcorder did you use to film this Review? Pretty clear camcorder.
The 5Diii and a 24-105 lens.

thank you for advice!

Agreed. Thanks man!
Thanx for a great video review.
What bugged me was the focus. It's not very clear when you're showing all the buttons on the xf100.
But, is there no HDMI out on this camcorder?
Yes there is.
Good review - its a shame the video quality is not so great indoors.
this camera have a lanc port?
1080p at 60fps but interlaced?! That is the most illogical thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
Canon XF100 or Sony HXR-NX100? Please,help what to choose for weddings?
As of today I wouldn't choose either,,, the Canon 70d as full-time auto focus ,face tracking features much better image quality.
what is the format right out of the box? will i need a video converter?
The format is mxf, for A lot editing softwares you'll need a converter.
Great review! What Sony is comparable to this camera. Im looking for upgrade to a 1,500 dollar Sony Camcorder I have now.
I have the Canon XF100 and I'm trying to upload a video to TH-cam. However, the video format of the camera is MXF.. What did you do to upload your video?

Hello have digital zoom? or only 10x zoom ?
is good in lowlight? es binorm? or only NTSC ?
It has optical zoom and a two-step digital zoom. it's not the best low light camera. It has PAL and NTSC.
thanks, so the two step digital zoom are good? how many x more have? so can change from NTSC or PAL or only if I buy in NTSC areas or PAL areas ?
I don't remember the zoom value but it seems about double. you can change it from NTSC or PAL on the camera.
Good! so binorm NTSC & PAL good! a worldwide camera! thanks!!
What kind of camera did you use to make this video?
BANANA JORDAN canon 5diii
great review
Hello Can I set on MP4 format
No
You point at the 3.5 mic input on the handle and say its a headphone jack.
Jose Vela I did say it was an input, The 3.55 mm Jack is commonly known as a headphone jack....
All my videos i did with this camera.
Don't convert. Drop all of your clips into Premiere and create a separate sequence and export it to after effects.
Great review - THANKS!
For the money, do you believe this is the best bang for the buck for doing docs and professional interviews or would you recommend something different?

This is the worst camera that I ever work with
I was almost about to buy one....what's so bad about it?
