Canon reveals 4K camera and 8K lens

Max Miller - Broadcast
The XF605 professional 4K camcorder and 10x16 KAS S 8K BCTV zoom lens are now available

Canon has released two new broadcast solutions, the XF605 professional 4K camcorder and 10x16 KAS S 8K BCTV zoom lens.

The XF605 has 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit image quality and FHD up to 120p high frame rate in a small form factor. It is powered by a 1.0 TYPE CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 7 processor, and offers custom picture options such as HDR (HLG/PQ), Canon Log3 and user-created Look Files. 

In addition, it uses the same 5-Axis image stabilisation system as the XF and XA series, and has four IS options available by combining different settings in Standard, Dynamic and Powered IS. Using a high magnification 4K L-series lens, the XF605 achieves a 15x optical zoom in 4K and 30x advanced zoom in FHD for long distance objects.

For the first time in the XF series, it has the Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus System which brings Eye Detection AF and Canon’s EOS iTR AF X intelligent head detection and tracking functionality, and it is 10 per cent smaller and 600g lighter than the XF705.

Meanwhile, the 10x16 KAS S lense is aimed at the demand for high-resolution 8K production in sports and documentary. It helps reduce chromatic aberrations, spherical aberrations and other effects that diminish image quality through special glass elements such as fluorite, Hi-UD lenses and wide-diameter aspherical lenses, and weighs 2.94kg.

The XF605 will retail at £3,599 ex VAT, with the 10x16 KAS S price available on request. More information can be found here

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
