The Canon XA70 is a professional 4K camcorder that packs a wide range of professional features into a compact body. The camcorder is easy to use and ideal for documentaries, journalism and many other applications where 3G-SDI is not required. The 1-inch CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor use oversampling to deliver exceptionally high-quality HD video. Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology and the 15x optical zoom lens ensure sharp images. And if you want to broadcast your content live, the camera offers HD live streaming via UVC¹ over USB-C. Thanks to the HDMI output, recorded footage can be easily integrated into a wider professional workflow.
