Canon U.S.A. Launches a Line of 4K UHD PTZ Cameras Ready For Integration Into a Variety of Environments

Price? Although I suppose if they are focusing on integrators, they won't say a price because you need to go through an integrator.
Events and places of worship.
They also mentioned an outdoor PTZ IP camera. I doubt they'll outprice Hikvision
Given the video above, professional content production (live events, corporate and the likes).
Good news is : in house, canon 1" sensor with dpaf. Oneday, we could see a powershot with a canon 1" sensor.
Probably has to do with this, just below:
Update #2: I have been told that Canon will announce new PTZ cameras that will cost around $4000 USD. This isn’t a new segment for them though, but their current offerings are $10,000 USD and up.
So, no, sadly, they won't be replacing my $100-$200 Hikvision cameras (which are great for what you pay!)
Super impressed by this forward thinking design. this opens so many doors. I predict that all course-related outdoor professional sports (BMR, rally, etc) will be integrating these quickly.
The specs for the CR-N500 are a 1" sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF. That's interesting. No current PowerShot has DPAF.
Canon has had 1" sensors with DPAF is pro camcorders for quite some time.
What surprised me is that the one camera without DPAF has hybrid AF.
I was not aware of any Canon cameras with that.
This type of product seems to fit in with Canon's new organizational structure, where the Imaging division was replaced by the Optical Industry division.
Canon has had this type of camera for a while but I was not aware of any that were 4K UHD.
Wherever you need a camera but there's no space for a cameraman (should I write cameraperson today?), or is unsafe.
B&H has a comparison against their camcorders

How good do you think the N300 would be without DPAF? We have eight year old Sony PTZs (obviously no fancy AF or DPAF) and their AF is decent.
Four unmanned cameras replace four cameramen.
You might keep one as VJ, but you save 3 heads crew.
Make the math: Three dayrates, three hotel nights,
three seats on plane or car , three heads catering and
per diem per event saved - the cameras pay for themselves
pretty fast.
ROI might happen on the first event already.
