Choosing the best Canon camcorder for your professional needs can come down to small differences in specification, says Mehdia Mehtal, Channel Marketing Executive for Professional Video & Broadcast at Canon UK. "If a higher frame rate at 4K is important to your work, then the XF405 (pictured) gives you 50p UHD recording, compared with the XA55's 25p UHD option," she explains.
Canon's professional video cameras combine some of the best Canon video technology with a familiar, easy-to-use camcorder design. As dedicated all-in-one video cameras, they are easier to control than DSLR or mirrorless cameras, and their compact design makes them more portable than Cinema EOS cameras. This makes them an excellent standalone choice for fast-paced productions, from newsgathering and live events to documentaries and weddings. But which is the best Canon camcorder for you?
