Along with the XF300, the Canon XF305 Professional Camcorder represents Canon's entry into professional 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 newly developed MPEG-2 4:2:2 codec--to record Full HD video to widely available Compact Flash cards.

The Canon EOS C100 EF Cinema Camcorder (Body Only) inherits the design concept of the EOS C300, which put DSLR quality video in a groundbreaking form factor with the key features of a more traditional video camera. The C100 has been optimized for run-and-gun and one-man-band style shooting, a specialty of event videographers, documentarians and independent filmmakers. This camera is about 15% smaller than the C300, and yet its 1080p image will hold-up nicely beside that of the more expensive camera. The C100 even has a few features not found in the C300, like One Shot AF, Push Auto Iris, a built-in microphone and non-compression HDMI out with superimposed timecode and 2:3 pull down marker.

JVC's modular GY-HM750 Compact Shoulder Camcorder is a professional ENG camera that uses the same 1/3" 3CCD sensor and 68-pin chassis as the GY-HM790. More streamlined than its studio-friendly predecessor, the GY-HM750 comes equipped with a Canon 14x zoom and is equally capable of capturing 1080i/p, 720p, and 480i video to native .MP4 or .MOV files. Standard-definition .AVI and .MOV formats can also be recorded for legacy SD applications, making the camera tops in its ability to output ready-to-edit files for such NLEs as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.

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.

JVC's GY-HM750 ProHD Compact Shoulder Camcorder with XT17sx45BRMK1 17x Lens Kit is centered around a modular professional ENG camera that uses the same 1/3" 3CCD sensor and 68-pin chassis as the GY-HM790. More streamlined than its studio-friendly predecessor, this GY-HM750 comes equipped with a Fujinon 17x zoom lens. It's equally capable of capturing 1080i/p, 720p, and 480i video to native .MP4 or .MOV files. Standard-definition .AVI and .MOV formats can also be recorded for legacy SD applications, making the camera tops in its ability to output ready-to-edit files for such NLEs as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.

The Sony PMW-EX3 is a flash-memory based high definition camcorder capable of a variety of frame rates and resolutions using Sony's new XDCAM-EX intraframe codec. A "big-brother" to the PMW-EX1, the PMW-EX3 ups the ante by providing an interchangeable lens mount. The mount allows users to put a variety of professional lenses on the camera, including 1/2" and 2/3" bayonet mounts (with optional adapter).

Panasonic's AG-3DA1 stakes its claim as the world's first integrated twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder. Using cutting-edge technology and design, the AG-3DA1 delivers a new level of portability and convenience to 3D image capture. Its dual lenses and 3MOS image sensors each capture 1080i/p or 720p video to their own SD/SDHC Memory Card, using Panasonic's professional AVCHD format. Boasting frame rates of 24p, 25p, 30p, 50i/p, and 60i/p (60p in 720p only), as well as XLR audio, HDMI and professional HD-SDI outputs, the AG-3DA1 takes what was once a cumbersome 3D capture process and trims it down into a camera not much larger than a standard 2D camcorder. This combination of portability, state-of-the-art technology, and professional features allows the AG-3DA1 to affordably address the emerging need for 3D content in broadcast, industrial, and educational applications

The Sony NEX-FS700U Super 35 Camcorder (Body Only) is a fully professional large-sensor video camera. Hot on the heels of the FS100, this compact, highly modular camera uses a very similar-sized Super 35 CMOS sensor as the FS100. But as a marked improvement over that earlier model's sensor, the FS700 features a native 4K resolution sensor. Unlike smaller, broadcast-style sensors or the larger "full-frame" sensors of some DSLRs, the NEX-FS700's imaging area matches that of standard Hollywood film cameras, providing complete compatibility with cine-style film lenses (sold separately). The sensor's large size offers a variety of other advantages, including increased control over depth of field, higher sensitivity in low light, lower image noise, and an exceptional dynamic range.

The Canon EOS C300 Cinema EOS Camcorder Body (EF Lens Mount) takes what professionals love about DSLR filmmaking – access to a vast selection of widely available lenses, a large sensor that facilitates a shallow depth of field, and portable operation with a modular, compact camera – and addresses its shortcomings. That means that unlike DSLR cameras, this Cinema EOS camcorder is designed inside and out for professional cinematographers capturing motion pictures that will stand up to rigorous post-production processes.

The Canon EOS C300 PL Cinema EOS Camcorder Body (PL Lens Mount) takes what professionals love about DSLR filmmaking – access to a vast selection of widely available lenses, a large sensor that facilitates a shallow depth of field, and portable operation with a modular, compact camera – and addresses its shortcomings. That means that unlike DSLR cameras, this Cinema EOS camcorder is designed both inside and out for professional cinematographers capturing motion pictures that will stand up to rigorous post-production processes.
