Ivan:
Thank you for the link. So far I have downloaded the xf300 autofocus test. I think this af speed is acceptable for me. Sharpness also OK. |

Very interesting. Dwlded the flash test for XF-300 and there are 3 tests (3 flashes) in the footage only at the first one you get the artifact of the rolling shutter (one line at the bottom) in the other two there is now artifact, in fact the flash is very even in the entire frame. If you watch the video at normal speed you don't even notice it, the flash occures only within 2 frames. Another useful info would have been the value of the shutter. Downloading the EX1R flash test ( I expect it to be as good).

I played with the XF-305 at a local dealer for a little while yesterday. I was able to grab a few raw recordings on CF but nothing all that interesting other than decent examples of how the camera handled mixed light on the showroom floor. Screen grab is attached from one clip. (near full telephoto, 0 db, F 2.6, 1080 24p, 50 mbs)
Let me just say that I'm impressed overall with the camera. Very professional and extremely well-built. More commentary later. |

What tools are you using to watch these on a Mac? The EX1's MP4s threw an error in the QT player and XF files are MXF.

upload clips to dvinfo?
Hi Barlow,
Thanks for that screen grab. The pic looks really sharp at those settings! Any chance you can upload raw MXF files that you captured? Best,

XF300 vs EX1 Snapshots
Here is a few snapshots I took of the vertical pan clips using the VLC player for those that don't want to wait forever to download a clip. The XF300 looks incredible compared against the EX1. I fully understand why the BBC has approved the XF300 for broadcast if these results are anything to go by. Colours are rich, skin tones realistic, and there is clearly more detail in the XF300.
I'm not sure what the test setup was like, looking at the clips the EX1 looks like it was shot in a darker tungsten setup while the XF300 seem to be in a bright daylight environment? Can tthe difference between the two cameras be that far apart? Does this mean there was different lighting conditions? I have seen a few Youtube videos that echo this colour difference, is 4:2:2 the missing link we've been waiting for? |

Nicholas,
I have no info about the lighting conditions during the tests. The site has several other tests of camcoders from different manufacturers. I chose XF300 & EX1R because of their belonging to the same price range. |
