The DIGISUPER 100xs has a smaller, lighter and more compact body to facilitate resource savings as well as usability with improved performance as TV broadcast lens for HDTV.
Built-in Optical Shift Image Stabilizer for Blurring-Free Images Even at High Zoom Ratios
The DIGISUPER 100xs uses the Optical Shift Image Stabilizer developed by Canon. This function provides higher precision and higher performance stabilization. Its effectiveness was demonstrated in other single-lens reflex cameras (EOS series), and the stabilizer has been optimized for broadcasting. As a result, less blurry images are possible even at the telephoto end of the range, and the camera is ideal for broadcasting sports, such as baseball, soccer and golf.
As TV broadcast lenses have higher zoom ratios than regular single-lens reflex cameras, their optical image stabilization systems are generally larger and bulkier. However, the DIGISUPER 100xs is compact and offers improved usability.

Minimum Zoom Extension to Realize a Smaller, Lighter and More Compact Body
The DIGISUPER 100xs features a 100x zoom ratio, 16% higher than the DIGISUPER 86xs, which was developed in 2000. Nevertheless, the new model is the same size and weight-only 23.5 kg.
The DIGISUPER 100xs improves the accuracy of Canon’s unique optical element that compensates for large aberrations. In addition, by adapting Power Optical System, the model uses the newly developed optical element in the most effective way, so chromatic aberration during telephoto use is less than that of 86x model.
