Canon HF G60 Overview

Record high-resolution 4K video with the compact, black Canon Vixia HF G60 4K Camcorder. The G60 features a DIGIC 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 camera supports Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, and the lens features a wide angle of view with 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.

Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus
Dual Pixel CMOS AF assists not only with standard shooting, but also with UHD 4K30, Full HD 1080p60, and other high frame rate applications that require crisp frame-by-frame accuracy. Each pixel in the camcorder's CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at each photosite. By implementing phase-difference AF, smooth focusing is accomplished with much higher speed and accuracy than was possible with previous technologies

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.

I'm not so well versed in frame rates, but it looks like there is a maximum of 1200 FPS - is that correct?
Asked by: John
The Canon HF G60 will not provide recording at 120fps. Your maximum recording frame rate is 30fps and 60fps will be your highest frame rate when recording 4K, 1080P and 720P. You will have the options to record in preset recording modes of fast and slow-motion, but will not have the ability to alter frame rates.

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.
