XC10 features a new 1″ sensor developed by Canon with great potential. It’s Bayer Pattern pixel matrix is pretty good implemented, the resolution in 4K is fine but not razor sharp.
With the Digic DV 5 image processor on board the 4K image can be sharpened in camera, but should not be overused because it intensives grain to and edges getting oversharpened and showing edge-shadows.
Unfortunately the 4K image tends to get a bit to much compressed and moskito-noise is visible if we pixel peep at 1:1 size when using only 205mbit, when choosing 305mbit the image is a bit sharper and there is much less moskito-noise artifacts on edges. Generally when choosing a less contrasty Picture Style setting, very fine details in shadows like very small distant leaves in shadows of trees or bushes tend to compress away a bit.
Would you describe the XC10 as a stills camera, a video camera, or an equal representation of both?
I think that it strikes the best balance of what I’ve seen so far in terms of providing a very high level of video functionality with a reasonably high level of still capabilities. To me, that’s one of the strengths of this camera. It can really do a credible job as either a video or a stills camera, depending on the needs of the user or the project.

The 5 axis stabilizer works only in HD resolution. In 4k there is only the OIS.
I can not read about 5 axis stabilizer, except in this thread. Can Anyone confirm this feature?
All I can say is that the operative word here is camcorder. I think they maybe want to sell it to rich families going on vacation - and it would be great for that sort of thing, in addition to any other creative uses. Drawback is the lack of an interchangeable lens mount, and the price being a bit above the competition
Hehe....What the....Cool, I assume this was shot on the xc10. Not bad. wish I could see more info about this shoot.
