A very professional camcorder I had been looking for ever since last year. I finally have it and I am so confident with the results I am having with the sound and image I am getting. I am continuously making video for weddings and XVANERAS, (OR Sweet Sixteen) and other social events. I am extremely happy with my brand new XF605 UHD Professional Camcorder. Thank you Canon.
