Canon has just launched a slew of new cameras. Two professionally oriented 1/2.3″ CMOS camcorders and two 1″ CMOS camcorders, as well as an enthusiast model featuring 15x and 20x zoom respectively. Additionally, there is a high-end PTZ broadcasting camera being launched. All cameras record 4k UHD and Full-HD. Let’s have a closer look.

The same cannot be said for other form factors. Now let us examine further what Canon has actually launched here. A whole line of new Canon Camcorders.
