Good image but sound is poor

The camera has a very noticeable hiss with every external mic I have tried (eg senheiser, rode etc.) . Any advice is welcome…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had my eye this camera for over a year with its dual card slots, dual pixel focus, its hdr recording mode and mp4 format it was everything in needed in a small camcorder, xlr audio inputs and control.. and the ability to shoot in 4k should i need it. finally bought and i love love love this camera... now i have my eye on the canon XF 705 i do ENG style documentary work and these cameras fit the bill.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome camera

A mini c100 in a camcorder! It has an amazing good picture for a 1 inch camera. And to my surprise matches the c100 without any real modification in post. Its like its meant to be a B cam for it. It can do both a nice video look and a film look however limited in style with no log its pulls off quite alot for a camcorder. Also external record in 4:4:2 10 bit should help make up for lack of internal coloring. What other camera does 10 bit for under 7k in canon world?
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've used the XA 10 and the XA 30, but great cameras, but this XF405 is amazing. I am a breaking news stringer and the 1-inch sensor with the zoom capabilities for this camera have made me a lot of $$$. The difference in the sensor just in low light was worth the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

fun but not really a camera for professionals

it is too small need to bring back an updated version of the XL models essentially a real prosumer camera that is closer to an eng. This is nice for the non professional so don't get me wrong. It is a good camera. But, I still love my XL H1A with a DTE recorder. For the professional it is great especially with the lense choices. I get that many have moved to DSLR but they are deeply flawed when using them for sports or any action and I have edited so much stuff that I have been given with even simple moves that DSLR's have issues. Yes some of that is a shooter issue I get that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
