Record 4:2:2 video with professional Canon camcorders : Canon announces the Canon XF305 and XF300 professional camcorders. Both Canon camcorders employ an MPEG-2 4:2:2 50Mbps codec - Canon XF Codec - for capturing and recording native 1920 x 1080 video onto CompactFlash (CF) cards. Uniting video, audio and metadata into a single file, the Canon XF305 and XF300 use an MXF (Material eXchange Format) File Wrapper, a widely supported open-source format, to maximize compatibility with existing industry infrastructure and non-linear editing (NLE) systems. Priced under $8,000 per model, the Canon XF305 and XF300 are engineered for multiple production applications including broadcast news, and independent filmmaking and event videography.
