In a nutshell
The Canon XC10 deliversmarket-leading image quality for a compact and ultra-portable camera. The XC10 is an entry-level video camcorder with the ability to shoot 4K 8-bit 4:2:2 colour space. With its slight and slender body, the Canon XC10 is perfect for unmanned aerial systems and 3-axis hand-held stabiliser gimbal like the DJI Ronin.
The XC10 features a 10x zoom lens with a versatile 27.3-273mm focal range, optimised for 4K shooting and embracing Canon's class-leading image stabilisation technology. You now have the freedom and flexibility to switch between fast action and close-ups without needing to change lenses. Live in the moment with the ability to move seemlessly from movie recording to still image with a simple click, and capture high quality images at 12MP or extract 8.29MP stills from 4K video recording.
In the hands
The perfect 'grab and go' camera, the Canon XC10 is an all-in-one pick-up-and-shoot camcorder, with no additional accessories required to capture high quality footage. In the hands, the camera is small, lightweight, and very comfortable to both hold and operate.
A handy rotation grip gives you comfort and convenience in a variety of shooting styles. The XC10 offers a range of customisable buttons right at your fingertips allowing you to tailor functions to your own needs. For easy viewing, the XC10 features a 7.66cm vari-angle touch LCD screen, giving a 100% field view coverage alongside direct access to the menu system. There's also the option of an optical loupe viewfinder that fits the LCD for more traditional shooting.
