Please show us xf605 low light in real world. Thank you.

hi there. Long shot here...but I assume you have both cameras. I have come across a gently used XF705 for a good price. What would I lose if I purchased the 705 instead of the 605...?I would use it for live events on tripod mostly. Thanks

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

I can't wait to see some real world footage of the XF605 at a wedding reception for example. I own DSLRs and they are great but sometimes a camcorder is the right tool for the job. I hope you post some footage soon with real people! Candles is ok but not enough! Thanks

We just uploaded a new video, shot on XF605

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

@@WupperVideo great! I looked at your youtube channel and couldn't find the video of the XF605. Could you pls share a link? Thanks

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

@@WupperVideo I found it.

I own the 300's and 4 of the XF605s - Now that the 705s are about the same price as the 605s are, I am wondering if the image quality is better? - I love the 605, but the specs on the 705 claim its actually better in low light, etc... I need like 2-3 of something just thought I'd ask anyone that has used botht he 605 and the 705 cameras... thanks

[@PaulHughesVideo]

I have the 605 & 705, the image quality is very similar. However the 705 is an older camera which appears to have been abandoned by canon and I also find the 605 slightly better in low light with better 4:2:2 codecs.. but the 705 is generally more robust and better built, for tripod work the 705 is my go-to camera, for ‘on the run jobs’ I use the 605. I hope this helps.

What is the minimum gain available for each camera? I know the XF705 has negative gain, so I'm wondering if 3db gain is not really equivalent on each camera - especially if the XF605 has a different minimum gain level.

[@PaulHughesVideo]

3dB gain is the minimum when shooting manual in WDR profile with the XF705 (it's +2.5dB in auto) with the XF605 the minimum is 0dB

[@daltonrandall4348]

Why did you use radically different white balance settings to compare the cameras?

[@PaulHughesVideo]

Did you watch the full video or read the description?

[@bobuk5722]

@@PaulHughesVideo Hey, gently, gently! Obviously the writer did n't but then the description does not pop up automatically and it's an easy mistake not to notice the change after the full auto shots. Having said that it's a very useful and helpful comparison and thanks for posting.

I wish we can see an xf305 vs xf705 comparison. I want to buy the xf305 but I saw a pissed of review making it look like the xha1 mini dv series

[@zasavskatelevizija9618]

I THINK THE XF 705 IS BETTER.
