[New Launch] Canon Unveils XC10 That Does Both High Quality 4K Video Recording and Still Photos
Canon has officially announced a new camcorder - XC10, that has been designed for both 4K video recording and 12-megapixel still photographs. The newly launched digital camcorders also allows users to extract 8-megapixel still from recorded 4K video via a built-in function.
Canon XC10 sports a 1-inch, 12-megapixel CMOS sensor, 10x wide-angle zoom lens with a 2x digital teleconverter, and a SanDisk 64GB CFast 2.0 card and card reader. The camera also comes with a Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology.
"With the introduction of the XC10 4K Digital Camcorder, we are looking to deliver a robust new camcorder that will allow for an ever expanding creative expression. Enabling the virtually seamless capture of stunning 4K video with the added convenience of still image capture and 4K frame extraction, XC10 users are empowered with multiple ways to share their artistic visions," Canon U.S.A. president and COO Yuichi Ishizuka said in a statement.
The XC10 will be released in June and will set you back for $2,499.
Canon added that the new XC10's CMOS sensor "delivers up to 12 stops of dynamic range for impressive detail in both highlights and lowlights, whether the user is shooting video or still photos," while the unit's 10x wide-angle zoom lens "offers a 35mm-equivalent zoom ratio of 24.1-241mm for still photos and 27.3-273mm for movies."
Canon noted that the XC10 is also lightweight and compact for the performance it delivers. A fully loaded device packing an LP-E6N battery pack and two memory cards weighs just 2.3 pounds and measures approximately 4.9-by-4.0-by-4.8 inches (WxHxD).
