Canon XF405/XF400 Firmware v1.0.5.0
United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, 5 April 2018 – Canon UK today announced a firmware upgrade for its professional EOS C200, EOS C300 Mark II, XF405, XF400, EOS C700 and EOS C700 GS PL cameras. Major updates include the addition of XF-AVC (MXF) – a Canon video format – for the XF405, XF400 and C200. XF-AVC (MXF) offers increased efficiency for recording high-quality UHD and HD footage, while improving production workflows.
The firmware upgrade will be available from the Canon Support site from April 5th.
Canon dropped the ball on these cameras. IQ is at best average, certainly not at the level of an entry level, $450 m4/3 camera.
Disappointing!
Wow, that's fuzzy, interesting to see if firmware will fix it.
You mean dynamic stabilizer mode?
No way, just look at the sensor resolution at first post here.

1st review:
Yes, it will be less shallow dof comparing to m43 with prime lenses, but it can be good enough for indie films, considering the "one piece solution".
For all kind of Television productions it can be just perfect.
@apefos the one inch sensor will only give you a shallow DOF look in telephoto. It's a good look, but not exactly like a larger sensor with a wide open prime.
Yup, the Sony does not do 60fps, but it has a very good codec. I still think it is $1000 overpriced.
Interesting to see if people will buy it, or whether Sony will finally upgrade the ax100. They both have the one inch sensor, so should be easy to compare the IQ.
The Sony has a seriously good lens through 80 percent of its range.
The Sony focuses very well, but it does not track as well as the Canon camcorders. I'm guessing the tracking/focusing will be better. If you focus manually, as I do most of the time, then it isn't a big deal, but tracking can be very useful.
Canon color, we shall see. Canon is great at screwing stuff up, but they have had a long time to work on this camera. My ax100 has a much better lens than my 1080p canon camcorders.
You mean it is similar form factor, Sony model is AX100.
And it is very different from it with 4K 60fps, dual pixel sensor making it far superior for video focusing, dual SD slots.
