So, this camera has taken a lot of negative press as being underwhelming in the competitive low-end 4K camera market. It doesn't have some of the bells & whistles its competitors have, and there are definite limitations.

This is a great camera /Video camcorder small and lightweight the downside is manual Zoom a d because of canon new mxf filming file if you have an imac you have to buy a down load converter as imovie and final cut pro do not support this file and these cost around 35$ if I'd known this I would have...

This camera is getting a bad rap and I'm here to set the record straight. Let's keep the main thing, the main thing and here's the main thing ... How fast can you set-up a shot and how well does that shot or video look That's the bottom line for ANY camera.

I have mixed feelings about this camera. It has features a more professional camera should have: 4k and fast frame rates. So it's a bit strange that a lesser camera than the C100 (my workhorse), has a few better functions.

EXCELLENT;COMPACT;WOULD HAVE LIKED ROOM FOR TWO RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES INSTEAD OF ONE;FIRMWARE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NON EXISTENT IN USER MANUAL.

very nice camcorder, video quality is superb ,

Canon's new XC10 is not a camcorder and not a full blown camera. It is a hybrid camera with limited capabilities. 12MP stills, it is way below SLRs. Also video capability is limited. CF Compact card is an odd choice. The battery life is poor.

4K, or Ultra HD, is the hot video buzzword these days. All the manufacturers are touting their 4K cameras and display devices, even though 4K content is sparse and expensive to produce. Or, is it?

The XC10 is Canon's entry-level Cinema EOS camera. However, it's a rather different beast compared to other members of the Cinema EOS range, such as the C100 . For a start, it's price of a little over ￡1,500 puts it much closer to consumer-grade camcorders.

Brilliant 4K image quality; Built-in lens offers 10x zoom; Better 12-megapixel stills than most camcorders

Non-interchangeable lens; 4K only recorded to expensive CFast 2.0 cards; No XLR audio inputs

After reading lots of reviews and doing lots of research I decided on the XC10. Coming from a 5DMKi I was upgrading to a 4K camera. It's great that Canon have used some of the technology from the cinema line cameras in this unit. It's very well made, solid construction but not too heavy.

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight
