Canon XA70 Professional 4K Camcorder
The Canon XA70 steps up from Canon's smaller-sensor compacts with a 1.0-inch type CMOS sensor, delivering better low-light performance and shallower depth of field while keeping the same run-and-gun body size. Paired with the DIGIC DV6 processor and a 15x optical zoom lens, it captures oversampled 4K UHD with Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast, confident focus tracking. Five-axis image stabilization keeps handheld footage steady out at the long end of the zoom.
Footage records in XF-AVC or MP4 to dual SD card slots, with relay and simultaneous recording for long takes and instant backup. The detachable handle carries two XLR terminals for professional audio with four-channel linear PCM, while an HDMI output and a USB Type-C connection with UVC support handle monitoring and direct livestreaming to a computer. It is a compact documentary, ENG, and event camera that punches above its size.
