Tiptop Electronics Offers Canon XF305

Professional PAL Camcorder available for just

£3,575.00 from Tip Top Electronics UK with

fast shipping.Along with the XF300, the XF305

Professional PAL Camcorder represents Canon's

entry into professional, three-chip solid-state

video acquisition.

The XF305 - Canon’s newest professional digital

video camera for event videographers, film

makers, news gatherers, and live multi-camera

environments - is truly state of the art. Designed

through feedback from professional camera

operators, the XF305 is also very mobile, with

excellent balance between operation and weight.

Along with the XF300, the XF305 Professional

PAL Camcorder represents Canon's entry into

professional, three-chip solid-state video

acquisition. Following on the heels of its widely

respected XH line of tape-based camcorders, the

XF305 takes advantage of the latest HD

technology – along with Canon's MPEG-2 4:2:2

codec – to record Full HD video to affordable

Compact Flash cards.

Everything you could want in a handheld,

professional camcorder is here in one sleek,

affordable package: three 1920 x 1080 CMOS

sensors, multiple bit rates (up to 50Mbps),

variable resolution and frame rates, industry-

standard MXF file wrappers, a newly developed

L-Series 18x zoom lens, and full image

customization.

In addition to the HDMI/component/composite outputs found on the XF300, the XF305 includes

HD/SD-SDI output, genlock, and SMPTE time code terminals – widening its range of applications to

live and multi-camera shooting. With such exceptional levels of image quality, ergonomics, and control,

the XF305 is also the perfect camera for ENG, documentaries, independent features, and event

videographers.

MPEG-2 50 Mb/s Codec

Canon's adaptation of MPEG-2 for the XF305 Professional Camcorder, named the Canon XF Codec,

ensures the widest compatibility with existing industry infrastructure and non-linear editing (NLE)

systems. And by using an MXF file wrapper, video and audio can be wrapped in a single file along with

important metadata. The codec's 50Mbps constant bit rate provides the bandwidth needed to capture the

XF305's superior resolution and color in spectacular detail.

4:2:2 Color Sampling

The XF305 supports the highest HD quality, with Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, up to 50 Mb/s bit

rate and 4:2:2 color sampling. 4:2:2 color sampling provides twice the color resolution of HDV and

other codecs that use 4:2:0 color sampling. 4:2:2 provides ultra-fine transitions in tone and color and

maintains the highest quality image for use in post-production processes such as chroma keying, color

grading, advanced compositing, and effects.

Record to Compact Flash Cards

Unlike other camcorders using proprietary memory systems, the XF305 records to cost-effective and

readily available Compact Flash (CF) cards. The camcorder features two CF card slots and offers

versatile recording functions including relay recording, hot swapping, file copy & backup, and pre-

record cache (3 seconds).

File-based recording facilitates workflow by reducing transfer times when moving video to nonlinear

editing (NLE) systems. Additionally, metadata can be input at image acquisition, and imagery may be

reviewed immediately after recording to ensure every shot is captured and logged correctly.

Three Canon Native 1920 x 1080 CMOS Image Sensors

Newly designed and manufactured exclusively by Canon, the XF305 camcorder incorporates three

native 1920 x 1080 CMOS image sensors, which deliver outstanding Full HD video recording with

minimal noise. These 1/3-inch sensors enable a compact lens and body design, for greater mobility and

quick shooting.

Multiple Bit Rates, Resolution, & Frame Rates

Multiple recording modes, resolutions, and frame rates make the XF305 Professional Camcorder

creatively flexible and able to work in virtually any production environment. From the highest quality 50

Mb/s Full HD, to the HDV-compatible 25 Mb/s, users will find the camcorder capable of taking on any

job. The XF305 Professional Camcorder also offers a full range of selectable frame rates. You can

choose among 50i, 50p, and 25p settings to achieve just the look you want.

Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor

The XF305 features Canon's powerful DIGIC DV III Image Processor, which provides enhanced

shading, lifelike tonal gradations, new custom picture settings and lower power consumption. DIGIC

DV III is also the high-speed engine which powers Genuine Canon Face Detection. On-the-go

videographers will appreciate the ability to track one subject in a crowd of people.

Genuine Canon 18x HD L-Series Lens

Inspired by the same high level of optical precision used in Canon broadcast and photographic lenses,

the Canon XF305 Professional Camcorder incorporates a Genuine Canon 18x HD L-Series lens that

features a wide and impressive zoom range of 29.3-527.4mm (35mm equivalent). The lens incorporates

High Index - Ultra-low Dispersion (HI-UD), Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) and aspherical elements to

minimize chromatic aberration while delivering a resolution of 1,000 TV lines.
