With Sony, BirdDog, and now Canon releasing compelling PTZ cameras, should creatives consider using one on their next project? Well, it depends.
Hot on the heels of unveiling five new compact 4K camcorders, Canon has launched a new 4K PTZ camera, the Canon CR-N700, perfect for broadcast, live events, and studios.
This camera is infinitely smaller than the ones seen in TV news and broadcast studios around the world, yet with crisp 4K, broadcast-quality video. But can creatives take advantage of one? And is it even a contender now that Sony has released its full-frame PTZ camera?
Canon CR-N700 Features
PTZ stands for pan, tilt, and zoom. Don’t feel bad if you think the CR-N700 looks like a fancy security camera because that’s exactly the roots this camera has.
However, you won’t be seeing Canon’s new PTZ camera at your local bank when making a deposit from your latest creative gig. Rather, this 4K PTZ will be quite happy in a studio to be used for TV shows, or both inside and outside for live events.
