We've been big fans of Canon's XF300 since it came out last year, so if you're looking to add a new camcorder to your production workflow, here's why we think it's a great option...

For a start, the XF300 is the only 50mbps 4:2:2 video camera in its price range. You get great image quality for your money (the L-series lens more than makes up for the 1/3" sensor), manual controls that are a breeze to use for anyone with a basic knowledge of camcorders, and a durable build with durable metal hinges and no internal moving parts. All that, and more, adds up to an affordable camcorder that's perfect for anyone shooting outdoor scenes, sports or wildlife. Watch the video above for more details.

 

- Like what you see in the video? The Canon XF300 camcorder is available from Jigsaw, and for a limited time we're throwing in a free Kata case and two 16GB Compact Flash cards!

Find out more about the Canon XF300 by calling 03332 409 306,  emailing broadcast@Jigsaw24.com or visiting Jigsaw Broadcast. You can also keep up with the latest video news and offers by following us on Twitter (@JigsawVideo) and 'Like'-ing our Jigsaw Video Facebook page.

Hi there. Thanks for the feedback. While most companies don't offer 3 or 5-year warranties, Jigsaw does offer extensions on warranties for some manufacturers including Sony and NewTek. Unfortunately, Canon requires the customer to do the leg work themselves once they've registered, and they provide the information necessary to extend the warranty in the box. I hope this helps - if you need any more details please call the sales team on 03332 409 306. Thanks!

I find the measly 12 month warranty on a product costing 6 grand, and supposedly used for 'work' purposes to be entirely inappropriate. Work tools require far longer warranties. This warranty doesn't even come close to a standard consumer warranty one obtains by law in a country like say Germany. It should have 3 years, preferably 5.
