Canon XF300

Introduction

The XF300 (and XF350) is the newest pro model from Canon—and the company's first to feature flash memory recording. The camcorder has many of the same manual controls and features as Canon's HDV line of professional camcorders, but the company also packed in a number of exciting updates and design improvements. The XF300 will be available in late June with an MSRP of $6799 and it will be on display next week at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Convention in Las Vegas.

If you want professional connectivity options like an HD-SDI terminal, Canon also announced the XF350. The XF350 is identical to the XF300, except for the fact that it has an extra set of ports (and it costs $7999).
