Introducing the Canon XC10 - YouTube

New tech arrived, explains price drop in mark iii and C100 C300 line, to make room for 4K as standard.

2K HD has a few years left, but as time goes on it will be phased out much the way SD went....

Canon's new cam is nice, shame it doesn't have the EA50 form factor, would be nice to see Sony's response to this that is comparable in both spec and budget.

Interesting to say the least. It seems Canon is not big on the EA50 style form factor. As I keep watching different cams come out they seem to be trying to stay around the same form factor of the DSLR, Maybe they believe the market is stronger in that vain. Anyway this cam will be $2500USD when it hits the stores in the states. B & H has it on their site for pre-sale (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1134581&gclid=CjwKEAjw6Z2pBRCmvaXq6d7FjUoSJAAc5LrimEomYqTsa4mH6S_Ws9Ebh8mQey_YjeSN1bbOTpMVVhoC_8bw_wcB&Q=&is=REG&A=details)

I am interested in reading the feedback from the cam with the fixed lens. Although it is f/2.8 the beauty to me is that we are not limited as to lens choice.

I'm sure the rig manufactures are excited to with another product that will need rigging.

Canon XC10 4K videokamera - YouTube

Looks nice, potentially has interval mode for time-lapse footage seen in above clip. Wonder what the 4k looks like.

The XC10 is the size of a dSLR (a 'baby C100', if you prefer).
The use of Cfast cards makes this a rather pricey proposition.
More suitable as a B-camera to a C300, I think.

I would be interested in an EA-50-form factor using the existing HXR-FMU128 unit for recording 4K video - I think the bandwidth is adequate? Or just accept a range of SSD drives like the Blackmagic in a slot.
Or use paired SD cards of UHS-1 specification?

N.F.
