Took the Canon XF200 to our local beach on a summer evening to capture the sunset. The HD 10 bit MXF format performs well enough for normal use, and has some latitude in post for adjustment. Mastered to HD with LUTS applied.

Filming In A Gale
We had a stormy evening, with strong southerlies and we took the Canon XF200 out on our heaviest tripod, plus the Rode VideoMic Pro. We kept the tripod low, yet despite this there was a bit of wind shake, which we corrected with the Adobe Premiere Warp Stabiliser and the Rode wind screen kept most of the noise away. But the main trick is to position the gear out of the wind. Even moving a few feet we found the odd place to shelter. The other trick is to use your body to provide protection to the camera. And like the birds, point into the wind!
The Trusty Canon XF200
It may not be 4k, or have variable ND, but our trusty Canon run-and-gun camera still packs a punch, with its 20x zoom, three ring controls and 10 bit codec. Here we took out for an evening spin at our local surfing spot on a bright evening, during golden hour.
