The Canon XA25 Professional HD Camcorder is a compact, powerful professional video camera designed for ENG crews, documentary makers and event videographers who need broadcast-ready results. It uses a 1/2.84-inch native 1920×1080 CMOS sensor and Canon’s DIGIC DV 4 processor, allowing shooting in light as low as 1.2 lux, while the 20x high-definition optical zoom covering 26.8mm to 576mm reaches every subject you need.
With three-axis Dynamic IS, dual SD/SDHC/SDXC card slots for simultaneous or relay recording, SD/HD-SDI and HDMI outputs, two XLR audio inputs with phantom power and built-in dual-band Wi-Fi, the Canon XA25 delivers a complete professional production workflow in a remarkably lightweight body.
Key Features
- Broadcast-quality 1080p sensor: A 1/2.84-inch HD CMOS sensor with native 1920×1080 resolution and 2.91MP sensitivity allows shooting at 1.2 lux for dependable low-light performance in any situation.
- Versatile 20x optical zoom: A 26.8mm to 576mm (35mm equivalent) lens with an eight-blade iris gives soft, natural bokeh and precise framing from wide shots through to close telephoto.
- Cinematic frame rates with DIGIC DV 4: Record at up to 59.94p or choose 24p for a film-like look; the DIGIC DV 4 processor encodes simultaneously in two codecs at two quality levels so web-ready versions are available as soon as recording stops.
- Three-axis Dynamic IS: Corrects horizontal, vertical and rotational movement so handheld footage stays smooth and stable without a stabiliser or rig.
- Professional audio and complete connectivity: The detachable top handle carries two XLR inputs with phantom power and manual audio level control, while SD/HD-SDI over BNC, HDMI Mini and composite output cover every broadcast and production workflow.
- Dual-card relay workflow with Wi-Fi: Two SD/SDHC/SDXC slots support relay recording for uninterrupted capture, instant backup archiving and dual-format capture, while built-in dual-band Wi-Fi allows FTP file transfer, remote camera control from a smartphone and wireless playback on Wi-Fi enabled displays.
