Camcorder is the must-need equipment for a traveler. To a professional photographer, a professional camcorder is needed.

The Canon XF100 is one of two compact, professional-grade camcorders (XF100, XF105) released in early 2011. Geared for filmmakers and producers, the XF100 uses an MPEG-2 4:2:2 codec for capturing and recording either 1080/60i/30p/24p or 720/60p/30p/24p content at a constant bit rate of 50Mbps, which means double the color resolution of HDV and other 4:2:0 formats.

Compact in size, light weight and fully featured, the Canon XF100 Professional Camcorder can be tailored to fit a wide range of individual needs. The XF100 utilizes Canon's XF codec-a file-based MPEG-2 compression with an MXF file wrapper that ensures the widest compatibility with existing industry infrastructure, metadata and non-linear editing (NLE) systems.
