The 1080p standard saw wide adoption around 2006. In the years since, video technology has gone much further. Ultra high definition 4K content brings something totally new things to the table. Pixel for pixel, UHD is significantly more detailed than full HD.

I hate to do this because the camera is so much better than anything else I have had recently. I bought the XF705 because I havent had a good running and gunning experience since the XF300. This included the Sony Z100, Sony FS7, and Sony FS5 with Atomos Shogun and ProRes Raw.

bought this solely for the smaller size, autofocus tracking and 10 bit 4:2:2 as i already own cinema counterparts, does not disappoint!

You can rename the file from .mxf to .mpg and then Adobe Media Encoder will recognize it. You can convert the file to 10 bit ProResHQ 422.

XF705 Footage is not supported properly and Canon has given up on proper MXF wrapper for current NLE systems. They are polite when called but have no answers, I deeply regret what Im stuck with, might as well stay with the XF305 8 bit if you need a recital camera.

Upgraded to the 705 and didnt realize until I was on commercial shoot that it does NOT have a time lapse function, a feature I use heavily. Youve got to be kidding me, how could they omit this? Very frustrating.

I MAY love this camera. I MAY use it to make amazing videos. I MAY have an all-in-one event camera for awesome run & gun work.Had this since pre-order (Dec 2018) and Adobe STILL does not support the format this camera shoots. Neither does FCP or Vegas.

I purchased this camera knowing that Adobe Premiere Pro would not import H.265, but I thought that Adobe would soon fix that problem. Sadly that is not the case as of this review in March of 2019.I have been using my Atomos recorder as a work around.

Used my XF705 to shoot an event. Was pretty impressed. The camera is pretty user friendly. The footage looks great. The focus tracking is excellent. This is a perfect live event or run and gun camera. Footage has a good look and even some DOF for a small sensor.

Left camcorders behind several years ago and shot video exclusively with DSLR cameras.Shot full manual with Canon EOS 5D and used Canon Log to get the most out of the vids in post production.Of course the 5D shoots massive sized 4K .mov files.

As we acquire more advanced multimedia storytelling skills, using the camera has to become almost second nature to us. The real emphasis evolves from which camera and lens to use into always being ready to capture the story as it unfolds with interviews and supporting that story with plenty of...
