Canon XF 605 Unboxing and quick review - Production model

Having owned the great XF 305, and then switching to the XF 400 which I have used for the last four years., when the XF 605 was announced i pre-ordered it. It arrived earlier than I was expecting, and as I have have seen very limited content on YouTube, I wanted to share my excitement of the new camera.

The XF605 Professional Camcorder is the next-generation XF-series camera. Equipped with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the XF605 achieves high-speed and high-accuracy focusing, and is the first XF-series model to include Eye Detection AF, as well as iTR AF X technology for improved face and head detection for more accurate and stable tracking of subjects.

The XF605 offfers 15x Optical Zoom lens with 3-ring manual control. XF605 can shoot 10-bit 4:2:2 4K UHD footage in XF-AVC and MP4 formats to dual SD cards for easy post-production and quick delivery.
