Canon HF G60 Overview

NAB 2019: Five New Canon 4K Camcorders

Record high-resolution 4K video with the compact, black Canon Vixia HF G60 4K Camcorder. The G60 features a DIG!C DV 6 image processor, a 9-blade circular aperture, 5-axis image stabilization, a 15x optical zoom in 4K, and up to UHD 4K30 resolution.

Record up to UHD 4K30 and up to 1080p60 video to separately available SD cards using the built-in dual SD card slots. Recording features also include slow-motion, fast-motion, and interval recording in both HD and 4K. The lens features a wide angle of view and a 15x optical zoom, which allows zooming in 4K. The 5-axis advanced image stabilization reduces shake and jitter, especially at longer focal lengths.

There are five assignable buttons around the camera as well as a joystick, lens ring, and custom dial for full control of your settings. The EVF tilts for convenience and comfort, and the adjustable LCD features a touchscreen which provides easy access to your settings.

Also included are an AC adapter with adapter cable, a BP-820 battery pack, a WL-D89 wireless controller, and a lens hood with lens cover.

Is there an alternative zoom lens that allows zooming further than the lens that comes with the camera?

Asked by: Charles

The lens is fixed, non-interchangeable, but you can set a 2X tele-extender function from the menu that will double the effective focal length of the 15X lens with little noticeable loss of resolution. When image stabilization is set on Dynamic IS, the lens' maximum focal length is 424.6mm, which the 2X will double to a hefty 849.2 mm. When the IS is set at regular or off, the maximum length is 382.5 inches, which the 2X will turn into 765 mm. These numbers are good enough for me. I have the G40 with the 20X lens, and with its 2X extender you do get more focal length than with the G60, but the G60's larger sensor and 4K capability offers me a worthwhile tradeoff.

The specs say it records in 4K, but does it also send 4K over the mini-HDMI output? The G50 was limited to 1080p in this regard.

Asked by: Benjamin

The maximum output configuration via HDMI is 1920 x 1080p.

other than audio and the other other than the audio inputs and removable handle, what is the difference between this camera and the XA50?

Asked by: Tav

Those are big differences and worth the difference in price. The menus are different as are the availability of some manual settings. But these camcorders do share the same sensor, process, chassis and body, and lens.

Is LCD perform better in bright sunny setting than G40?

Asked by: Guadalupe

I don't know about the G40 but the LCD will wash out in bright sunlight. I switch over to the EVF. Or you can add a Feelworld screen that is super bright (without washing out colors). I use that a lot when shooting outdoors.

A question from a video dummy. this camera can not shoot in xf-avc codec, only mp4. What's the advantage of xf-avc codec?

Asked by: Tom

Not necessarily any advantage. This is Canon's spin on MPEG-4: Video Format: 3840 x 2160p at 23.98/24/29.97/30 fps (MP4 via H.264/AVC, MPEG-4) 1920 x 1080p at 23.98/24/30/59.94/60 fps (MP4 via H.264/AVC, MPEG-4) 1280 x 720p at 59.94/60 fps (MP4 via H.264/AVC, MPEG-4)

Did Canon add back the ability to program one of the custom-buttons to show the audio meters (to quickly change levels when set to manual)? This was removed in the G50 and I'm hoping they put it back in for the G60

Asked by: Rob

Page 83 is for "custom button" -- it's the"assignable buttons" where this used to be available. Sadly, on page 85 where it lists what can be assigned, audio meters/levels is not there. :( Thank you for directing me to the manual.

Does HDMI HD1080 OUT work when recording in UFD? Many consumer camcorders only output HDMI when recording in HD1080.

Unfortunately the Canon Vixia HF G60 UHD 4K Camcorder is capped at 1080p max resolution for internal recording while using the HDMI output.
