Full range of Canon Video Cameras available to Hire or Rent

The Canon video camera range is broken down into three distinct ranges firstly Prosumer suitable for novices or semi professionals with limited knowledge or experience of filming giving limited advanced features yet still producing stunning footage easily like the Canon XA10 you can see here.

Then we have the professional range used by experienced video crew and perfect for commercial use in conferences, documentaries and news gathering like the very popular Canon XF705 then theres the Cine range used by film makers and advanced video camera operators looking for stylistic film looks and high end corporate productions and commercials my most popular cine camera is the Canon C200 and we use this camera on the majority of our corporate video productions because of its brilliant workflow its sneaky dual pixel AF system which makes light work of filming stylish shallow depth of field footage and its flexibility of lens options.

Canon Prosumer range of Video Cameras for Hire

The Prosumer range allows you to get Canon quality footage with absolutely no experience and is a great induction fo getting great video on a budget recording to formats like MP4 means your workflow will be simple and you won’t be left having to worry about grading, transcoding or converting anything you have filmed to get your video edited and completed.

You will find the Canon Prosumer range has many models all suited to operators looking for professional results without having to manage the camera continually so a great option for novices or additional camera angles for productions where additional crew is not an option.

The prosumer range all start with the prefix XA and a the range includes the Canon XA10 XA20/25 XA30/35 XA40/45 and XA50/55 one thing to note when your deleting the Canon Video Camera to Hire is any camera with a 5 as the last digit is the same as the model with a 0 as the last digit except the model has the additional benefit of gen lock and an SDI option SDI being used widely in broadcast when you need to feed the camera feed into a vision mixer over a long distance and gen lock allows the frames and time code to sync on multicam shoots so if you don’t need SDI don’t opt for any of the cameras with the 5 as the last digit for example don’t go for a Canon XA25 go for the XA20 which has the same feature set and is just missing the SDI and gen lock.

Again you will find the range has the option of standard outputs or the option of SDI and gen lock on the models that end with a 5 as apposed to a 0 do for example the Canon XF105 has gen lock and SDI the Canon XF100 has the same feature set as the XF105 with the exception of SDI and gen lock.

All the Canon models you can hire future dual card slots and multiple recording formats some models like the XF200 and XF205 even have three card slots 2 for MXF recording on CF cards and an additional SDHC card slot to allow you to also record MP4 meaning you can capture the very best quality in MXF yet also have MP4 om tap should you need to turn something out super quick and have your video live in in the quickest possible time.

So in summary we love the Canon video camera range

For many reason those being the robust build quality the no nonsense workflow and the trusted tech however many will argue that Canon tends to be a little behind the technology curve for instance no 12K offering but you can be certain you will never be left scratching your head when trying and failing to import footage to final cut or premier pro.

Everything just works as it should and you shouldn’t ever struggle having to work out manual settings its all very straightforward and you will also be delighted that once you have mastered even an entry level model like the Canon XA10 you will feel just at home with all the models through to the flagship C500MKII with intuitive menus and easy to follow setup once a canon user its hard to imagine using another brand hire one today and see why
