Which Canon Camcorders record 4K60?

redrob — Fri, 02 May 2025 06:17:38 GMT

I own 7 Canon camcorders, all but two being newer 4K models. (G70's, G60, G50)

We've found that when filming faster moving subjects (e.g. dance shows), shooting 1080p60 looks way smoother when our final render is 1080p60, than if we shoot/render 1080p30 through the pipeline. Makes sense, ya?

We've been running into situations for a few years now where we want to film 4K on our wide shot as a "safety", and have to sacrifice that 60p smoothness since none of our Canon camcorders film 4K60p.

QUESTION: Which Canon Camcorders will color-match the look of the G70/60/50 cameras, and can film 4K60p?

It's becoming sufficiently important that we're considering selling all our Canon gear and investing in Panasonics who's line-up can almost all film 4K60. Not our preference, but we don't see a progression to 60p on the Canon line-ups.

Thoughts?

I did look on the Canon USA site.. having to click through every model to look at the specs. It looks like the XF605 is the only one in the camcorder line-up that has 4k60 and none of the smaller form-factor models do. The now-discontinued XF405 appears to have had it too... but alas, now-discontinued. And at the $3K price-point it doesn't seem very competitive these days, as 4K60 is pretty standard in all other non-canon camcorders.

FYI, I found this page because I have the same exact question. I'm looking for a small camera that does 4k60.

And even though all my still cameras are Canon, I'm rapidly concluding that Panasonic is the only company actually competing in the handheld camcorder space at this point, and that's disappointing.

I bought a used Canon XF400 and so far it is what I needed and hoped for. The online video I watched which reviewed it prior to purchase was wrong on almost all of its "bad points".. user error or something resolved in a later firmware release.

So far I'm disappointed in Adorama though. They shipped it with a cheap aftermarket power supply and not the proper Canon one, and never disclosed that would be the case on the sales page. It has been 4 days since I reported the problem without a response.. not cool.
