Canon XC15 Rental

Overview

The Canon XC15 is like the XC10 in many ways but this updated model offers a more complete A/V workflow and better ergonomics. It incorporates an SLR-style manual lens with AF/MF focusing capability and 10x zoom. It is designed for use in both video and still shooting with a hot shoe that supports Canon flashes as well as LEDs, monitors, and other production gear. The entire thing consumes minimal power for a long battery life. The 3" tilting touchscreen provides intuitive control over the settings and the form factor is ergonomic with a comfortable tilting grip that's ideal for handheld shooting. You can also shoot 4K footage to a CFast card (included) while using stored customizations from an SD card. 1080p video and photography can be recorded to SD cards.

The biggest benefit over the XC10 comes from the XC15's microphone adapter that features two XLR audio inputs for professional microphone attachment. New menu options have also been implemented, including internal mic trimming, mic low-cut, and internal mic sensitivity. The movie looks from the C300 Mark II have been incorporated, which will allow for consistency with the C300 Mark II if you use the XC15 as a B-camera (this also makes grading easier). This is a versatile camera that is great for 1-camera operations, events, run-and-gun style shooting, documentary work, or everyday shooting for the extreme enthusiast.
